Send email with Seam 3 Mail and JMS

Seam 3 Mail module provides simple API to use Java Mail API to send email message.

Basic Configuration

Assume you have already created a Maven based Java EE 6 application.

Add seam mail dependency to your pom.xml file.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.seam.mail</groupId>
    <artifactId>seam-mail-api</artifactId>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.seam.mail</groupId>
    <artifactId>seam-mail</artifactId>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Add basic mail configuration in your META-INF/seam-beans.xml. 

<mail:MailConfig serverHost="smtp.gmail.com"
    serverPort="587" 
    auth="true" 
    enableTls="true" 
    username="<your gmail account>"
    password="<your password>">
    <ee:modifies />
</mail:MailConfig>

In your Java codes, inject MailMessage and Session.

@Inject
private transient Instance<MailMessage> mailMessage;

@Inject
private transient Instance<Session> session;

MailMessage is provided by Seam3 module, it is a fluid API to build message object and send message. Session is from the standard Java Mail API.

MailMessage msg = mailMessage.get();
msg.subject("test subject")
    .from("test@test.com")
    .to("user@test.com")
    .send();

Everything works well.

But if you try to send an email from jsf pages, the page will be blocked when the email is being sent.

EJB 3.1 provides a simple way to execute asynchronous action. You can simply create a @Stateless EJB and put the logic in a @Asynchronous method. But unfortunately when you try to use @Asynchronous and CDI together, it does not work.

JMS provides standard asynchronous processing capability for Java EE, Seam3 also includes a JMS module.

Send email asynchronously with JMS

Seam 3 also provides a JMS module which simplify JMS and CDI integration, we can utilize JMS to process the asynchronous work.

Configure the JMS connection factory in your META-INF/seam-beans.xml.

<jmsi:JmsConnectionFactoryProducer>
    <ee:modifies />
    <jmsi:connectionFactoryJNDILocation>
        java:/ConnectionFactory
    </jmsi:connectionFactoryJNDILocation>
</jmsi:JmsConnectionFactoryProducer>

Create a standard JMS listener to handle JMS message.

@MessageDriven(....)
public class MailProcessorMDB extends MessageListener {

    @EJB MailProcessor processor;

    public void send()...//

    @Override
    protected void onMessage(Message _msg) throws JMSException {
        if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
            log.debug("call handleMessage...");
        }

        ObjectMessage objMessage = (ObjectMessage) _msg;
        EmailMessage mailMessage = (EmailMessage) objMessage.getObject();
        processor.send(mailMessage);
    }
}

MailProcessor is a @Stateless EJB which is use for sending mail.

When a message is arrived, the listener will call MailProcessor to process email.

Use an interface to observe the CDI event and route it to the JMS queue.

@Outbound
public void mapStatusToQueue(@Observes @NoneBlocking EmailMessage message,
        @JmsDestination(jndiName = "java:/queue/test") Queue q);

In the presentation layer, fire an event directly. The event object will be routed as the payload of JMS message automatically.

messageEventSrc.fire(message);

Run the project

I assume you have installed the latest Oracle JDK 7, JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final and Apache Maven 3.0.4.

  1. Check out the complete codes from github.com. 

    git clone git://github.com/hantsy/seam3-mail-demo.git

  2. Start JBoss AS with standalone full profile which includes JMS support.

    <JBOSS_HOME>\bin\standalone.bat --server-config=standalone-full.xml

  3. Deploy the application into the running JBoss AS.

    mvn clean package jboss-as:deploy

  4. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080/seam3-mail-demo.

AngularJS CakePHP Sample codes

Introduction This sample is a Blog application which has the same features with the official CakePHP Blog tutorial, the difference is AngularJS was used as frontend solution, and CakePHP was only use for building backend RESR API. Technologies AngularJS   is a popular JS framework in these days, brought by Google. In this example application, AngularJS and Bootstrap are used to implement the frontend pages. CakePHP   is one of the most popular PHP frameworks in the world. CakePHP is used as the backend REST API producer. MySQL   is used as the database in this sample application. A PHP runtime environment is also required, I was using   WAMP   under Windows system. Post links I assume you have some experience of PHP and CakePHP before, and know well about Apache server. Else you could read the official PHP introduction( php.net ) and browse the official CakePHP Blog tutorial to have basic knowledge about CakePHP. In these posts, I tried to follow the steps describ

JPA 2.1: Attribute Converter

Auditing with Hibernate Envers

Auditing with Hibernate Envers The approaches provided in JPA lifecyle hook and Spring Data auditing only track the creation and last modification info of an Entity, but all the modification history are not tracked. Hibernate Envers fills the blank table. Since Hibernate 3.5, Envers is part of Hibernate core project. Configuration Configure Hibernate Envers in your project is very simple, just need to add   hibernate-envers   as project dependency. <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-envers</artifactId> </dependency> Done. No need extra Event listeners configuration as the early version. Basic Usage Hibernate Envers provides a simple   @Audited   annotation, you can place it on an Entity class or property of an Entity. @Audited private String description; If   @Audited   annotation is placed on a property, this property can be tracked. @Entity @Audited public class Signup implements Serializa
