Sending Email using JSP
By: Vijay in JSP Tutorials on 2023-05-05
To send an email using JSP, you can use the JavaMail API. Here is an example of how to send an email in JSP:
-
First, you need to download the JavaMail API jar file and place it in your project's classpath.
-
Import the required classes at the beginning of your JSP page:
<%@ page import="javax.mail.*, javax.mail.internet.*, java.util.*" %>
- Create a JavaMail session by specifying the SMTP server and port number. You also need to provide the authentication details (username and password) for the SMTP server:
<% String host = "smtp.gmail.com"; String username = "your-email-address"; String password = "your-email-password"; String port = "587"; Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true"); props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true"); props.put("mail.smtp.host", host); props.put("mail.smtp.port", port); // create a mail session with the given properties Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new Authenticator() { protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password); } }); %>
- Create a new message and set its properties, such as the sender's and recipient's email addresses, subject, and content:
<% String from = "your-email-address"; String to = "recipient-email-address"; String subject = "Email Subject"; String body = "Email Body"; // create a new message Message message = new MimeMessage(session); message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from)); message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to)); message.setSubject(subject); message.setText(body); %>
- Send the message using the Transport.send() method:
<% // send the message Transport.send(message); %>
The complete code for sending an email using JSP is as follows:
<%@ page import="javax.mail.*, javax.mail.internet.*, java.util.*" %> <% String host = "smtp.gmail.com"; String username = "your-email-address"; String password = "your-email-password"; String port = "587"; Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true"); props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true"); props.put("mail.smtp.host", host); props.put("mail.smtp.port", port); // create a mail session with the given properties Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new Authenticator() { protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password); } }); String from = "your-email-address"; String to = "recipient-email-address"; String subject = "Email Subject"; String body = "Email Body"; // create a new message Message message = new MimeMessage(session); message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from)); message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to)); message.setSubject(subject); message.setText(body); // send the message Transport.send(message); %> <h1>Email Sent</h1>
Note: This example uses Gmail as the SMTP server, but you can use any other SMTP server by modifying the "host" and "port" properties accordingly.
