javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name mail is not bound in this Context

[Ashmi]

Hi,

I am using JavaMelody to configure mail sessions for my web application. It is a RESTful web application. I am using is eclipse as IDE for this project.I have created a Contect.xml file inside webContent/ META-INF.
The code for Context.xml is as follows:

<Context>
<Resource name="mail/MySession" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session"
                mail.smtps.host="he******.ni*****.com"
                mail.transport.protocol="smtps"
                mail.smtps.user="ashmi.*******.ap@*******.com"
                mail.from="MyApplication"
                mail.smtps.auth="true"
                mail.smtps.password="*********"
                />
            <Parameter name='javamelody.admin-emails' value='ashmi.****@****.com' override='false'/>
            <Parameter name='javamelody.mail-session' value='mail/MySession' override='false'/>
            <Parameter name='javamelody.mail-periods' value='day,week,month' override='false'/>    
</Context>   



and I have added the configuration required for JavaMelody in the web.xml of web application as follows:

<web-app>
<filter>
    <filter-name>monitoring</filter-name>
    <filter-class>net.bull.javamelody.MonitoringFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>
  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>monitoring</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  <listener>
    <listener-class>net.bull.javamelody.SessionListener</listener-class>
  </listener>
</web-app>

When I am testing this mail configuration, I am getting below error.... I am able to understand what is the root cause...

HTTP Status 500 -

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.25 logs.

Please help me to fix this issue. I have been spending many days everyday on this. did lots of googling but did not find the solution. I would be grateful to your support.

Hi,

The context of Context.xml and of web.xml seems good.
But in general this file is named context.xml and not Contect.xml or Context.xml.


Anyway, I suggest to test your webapp in Tomcat alone without Eclipse, because for whatever reason you Context.xml file may be currently ignored.

And you may also enable debugging logs in javamelody.
See https://code.google.com/p/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#Debugging_logs
Then, you should see something like the following in the logs:

11:11:00.182 [main] DEBUG net.bull.javamelody - parameter defined: mail-session=mail/Session
11:11:00.182 [main] DEBUG net.bull.javamelody - parameter defined: admin-emails=xxx
11:11:00.182 [main] DEBUG net.bull.javamelody - parameter defined: mail-periods=day,week,month
