Problems Sending HTML Email Through TDI

[Kevin McCullough]

I'm able to send plaintext emails through TDI, but I have some data
that I want to format in a table, and I thought HTML would be the best
way to do that. I've marked the problem line with asterisks below.
I've tried many different iterations of that line of code, most of
them ending up with the error:

Unknown member 'RecipientType' in Java Class 'javax.mail.Message'.

OR

Error calling method 'addRecipients(null, string)' on java class
'javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage'.

It didn't appear that TDI has access to the Java variable
javax.mail.Message.RecipientType, so I started trying to use the
getProperty method, which returns null. Has anyone else had this
issue, or can anyone offer any suggestions?

Here's the code that I'm using:
task.logmsg("Sending mail...");
var props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.setProperty("mail.host", smtpServer);
props.setProperty("mail.user", myEmail);
props.setProperty("mail.password", xy);

var mailSession = javax.mail.Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
null);
mailSession.setDebug(true);
var transport = mailSession.getTransport();

var message = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage
(mailSession);
message.setSubject("HTML mail with images");
message.setFrom(new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress
(myEmail));
message.setContent("<h1>Hello world</h1>", "text/html");

// ****** This is the line causing all the problems
message.addRecipients(java.lang.System.getProperty
("javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO"), myEmail);

transport.connect();
transport.sendMessage(message,
message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
transport.close();

Thank you!

I am not familiar with the Java API that you are using, but it does
look as if you are trying to use the value of a recipient *type* as a
recipient *address*.

Surely the mail recipient address should be a fixed text string, or
come from a TDI variable (not from a javax.mail object)?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. Here is the link to the Java API I'm using:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/Message.html#addRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType,%20javax.mail.Address[])

It requires 2 parameters, one of which is the RecipientType (TO, CC,
etc) and the other is the address.

Ah - I don't think Message.RecipientType.TO is actually a variable.
Looks more like a method, so try something like this:

message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, myEmail);

See http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/Message.RecipientType.html

Here's the latest error message:
Java method 'addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, string)' on java
class 'javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage' not found.

I changed the line: message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
myEmail); to include my email address as a string, removing the
myEmail reference, but it still doesn't work. Here is the API I'm
going for:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/internet/MimeMessage.html#addRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType,%20java.lang.String)

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using the SendMail Function component, or
system.sendMail(), Kevin. Might be simpler.

P.S. Sorry for the belated reply

Hi Eddie,

Yes, I was able to get system.SendMail working, and that's what I've
been using. However, this doesn't allow me to send in HTML, does it?

Just to let the community know: Kevin and I have had a few
email exchanges and he is now bringing this up with our
Wizards of L2. Stay tuned for more...

I only see system.sendmail() using Content-Type: text/plain
Have you looked at using the SendMailFC? It gives you the option to set the MIME content type.
