Unable to send email using Java in Linux
Hi All,

We recently moved to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 from Solaris 10.
The existing Java code to send emails in Solaris is


Code:
public class card_cardMessenger{  	/** 	* Send an e-mail message via the Runtime class 	* @see Runtime 	* @return boolean (success or failure of sending the mail) 	* @param String recipient 	* @param String subject 	* @param String e-mail message 	*/ 	public static boolean sendMessage(String recip, String subj, String msg) { 		try {		 			Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); 			Process pr = rt.exec("mail -tw " + recip); 		  	OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(pr.getOutputStream()); 			out.write("Subject: " + subj + "\n"); 			out.write(msg); 			out.flush(); 			out.close(); 			return true; 		} 		catch (Exception e) { 			System.out.println("An exception occurred while sending message: " + e); 			e.printStackTrace(); 			return false; 		} 	}   }

However, the above code doesn't work in Linux - An email is not sent to the mail recipient.
Hence, I modified the mail command in the above code to
Code:
Process pr = rt.exec("mail -s " + recip);

There is one issue with the above code. Now, an email is sent to the mail recipient but the subject line in the email is blank. The subject line appears in the body of the email.

Please let me know the right way to do this. I also read other thread on this site and tried to send an email from the command line using
Code:
mail -s "Some subject line" test@yahoo.com

This works but the same doesn't work from the Java code.

Please help.

Thanks,
Megha

deploytool

deploytool(1m)						    Application Server Utility						    deploytool(1m)

NAME

       deploytool - launches the deploytool utility to deploy, package, and edit your J2EE applications

SYNOPSIS

       deploytool [--help] [--userdir user_directory] [--configdir configuration_directory]

       Use  the  deploytool  utility to deploy and package your J2EE applications and components, create and edit J2EE deployment descriptors, and
       create and edit J2EE Application Server specific deployment descriptors. If the application is not J2EE compliant, an error message is dis-
       played.

       Only  one  session of the deploytool utility can run with a specific user directory. A lock file is created to ensure that only one utility
       session is running. A message is displayed if a lock file is detected.

OPTIONS

       --help			displays the arguments for launching the AssemblyTool.

       --userdir	       identifies the user directory. The default user directory is  .deploytool  under  your  home  directory.  Only  one
			       deploytool  session  can  be  running per user directory. A lock file is created under the user directory to ensure
			       that only one session of the deploytool is running. The deploytool utility uses this directory to store	configura-
			       tion information.

				 o  On Solaris, the default directory is at ~/.deploytool

       --configdir	       identifies the configuration directory. The configuration directory is where the asenv.conf file is located.

			       On Solaris the asenv.conf can be found at:

				 o  Bundled installation: /etc/appserver

				 o  Unbundled installation: default is /etc/opt/SUNWappserver7 or user	specified

				 o  Evaluation	installation:  AS_SERVER_INSTALL/config.  Where  AS_SERVER_INSTALL is the directory where you have
				    installed the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.4 Application Server Beta 2.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using deploytool

       example% deploytool --userdir /myapplication --config_dir /myconfigdir

       Where --userdir specifies the destination directory, and -config_dir identifies the configuration directory.
