Spring Mail support getting test failure while running out side eclipse.

[Akhtar]

Hi spring guys,

I am using spring mail support.

I am getting an strange problem, while i am running my test case for my mail service inside eclipse its running fine while running it from maven through console its showing build failure and giving error.

I am using spring 2.5.5. and java (1.5.0_15) dependency for maven pom is

<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>


and java mail 1.3.3 with activation 1.0.2

I think this is a jar issue. Can any body help me which jars are supportable for this.

Let me know if any solution or i should arise this issue on jira.



I have attached my stack trace file.



Thanks,
Shakil Akhtar

I think the error message is quite obvious.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/activation/registries/LogSupport

You're missing activation.jar or you're using old/wrong version which does not contain LogSupport class.

You mentioned that this is a test class. Do mean by "test class" a unit test class or just a "test" class? In unit tests it's not recommended that the unit tests have dependencies to external resources like smtp server etc.... this is just a side note

Hi Noon,

Thanks for replying,

Unit test i.e Junit i have written for my MailManager class that is using spring and velocity in that its running fine in eclipse on run as junit and even sending emails.
but when i do maven build it shows this error.

if you have used spring 2.5.5 can you tell me which activation and java mail version with jdk 1.5.0_15 i should use to make maven build fine so that my junit test case will run fine.

i got this problem before this module in my project so for my first release i have to go with pure java mail.

Because spring is providing excellent mail support so i want to go with that.

Here is my mail manager.

public class MailManager
{

private static final Log LOG = LogFactory
.getLog(MailManager.class);

private JavaMailSender mailSender;

private String subject;

private String from;

private VelocityEngine velocityEngine;

private String templateFile;

public void sendMail(final AlertNotification alertNotification,
final String[] toAddresses)throws MessagingException
{
MimeMessagePreparator preparator = new MimeMessagePreparator() {
public void prepare(MimeMessage mimeMessage) throws MessagingException
{
MimeMessageHelper message = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage);
message.setTo(toAddresses);
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setFrom(from);
Map model = new HashMap();
model.put("alertNotification", alertNotification);
String text = VelocityEngineUtils.mergeTemplateIntoString(
velocityEngine, templateFile, model);
message.setText(text, true);
}
};
this.mailSender.send(preparator);
}


public void setVelocityEngine(VelocityEngine velocityEngn)
{
this.velocityEngine = velocityEngn;
}

public void setTemplateFile(String file)
{
this.templateFile = file;
}

public void setMailSender(JavaMailSender sender)
{
this.mailSender = sender;
}

public void setSubject(String sbjct)
{
this.subject = sbjct;
}

public void setFrom(String frm)
{
this.from = frm;
}
}

please help me its urgent for release to take decision for java mail or spring mail.

thanks in advance.

I think you should use activation 1.1. version instead of the 1.0.2. since the com/sun/activation/registries/LogSupport class exists only in 1.1. version (not in 1.0.2).

This doesn't explain why it's working in Eclipse. I think Eclipse finds it from other JAR in your classpath??
