Null session in JavaMailSenderImpl

[fherrerav]

I have a problem using JavaMailSenderImpl. When i try to send an email from a standalone class (main or junit) i get a null pointer

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderIm pl.getTransport(JavaMailSenderImpl.java:412)
at org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderIm pl.doSend(JavaMailSenderImpl.java:372)
at org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderIm pl.send(JavaMailSenderImpl.java:291)
at org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderIm pl.send(JavaMailSenderImpl.java:277)
at com.todo1.bole2.services.base.notification.SendSin gleMailTest.testSendEmail(SendSingleMailTest.java: 25)


but if i run a similar code under the app server (sun 7), it runs fine... it actually sends the email.

The test sample is:

public void testSendEmail() throws Exception {
JavaMailSenderImpl mailSender = new JavaMailSenderImpl();
mailSender.setHost("mail.mycompany.com");
//
SimpleMailMessage mailmessagetext = new SimpleMailMessage();
mailmessagetext.setTo("to@mycompany.com");
mailmessagetext.setFrom("from@mycompany.com");
mailmessagetext.setSubject("TEXT test");
mailmessagetext.setText("Test text");
mailSender.send(mailmessagetext);


Any idea why this happens?

Check your mapping. If your junit is coming from a different machine adding this:

<property name="javaMailProperties">
    <props>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
   </props>
</property>

may help.

Actually the problem is not in Spring but JavaMail, for some reason this 2 calls in JavaMailSenderImpl always return null

private Session session = Session.getInstance(new Properties());

public void setJavaMailProperties(Properties javaMailProperties) {
this.session = Session.getInstance(javaMailProperties);
}

I'm still researching why, i must be missing a property or something in the classpath. If you have any clue please let me know.

Thanks
