The error is pretty clear … It cant reach the mail server. Either your config to the server is wrong, or activiti simply cant access it from the server it runs on.

Activiti v5.16.4 couldn't read the config file.
From what i can see here http://forums.activiti.org/content/help-activiti5164-where-config-file-activiti-standalone-contextxml-has-no-effect
The problem is from your end.
"We did indeed change from XML -> Java Config in the latest release.
But we do need to write up the docs for this how we can configure this."

Works on v5.16.3

Yes, you can set the mail server configuration by writing you own Java config for the Explorer and REST app in 5.16.4.
For the upcoming 5.17 release we'll make sure property or XML config is also possible.

Best regards,

Hi,

Mail task from Rest API still doesn't work

Also when I looked into ActivitiEngineConfiguration.java for activiti-webapp-rest2 I don't find any mail specific settings as it use to be there for activiti-webapp-explorer2

https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/97d221fa0a779fbf8dbf7ee056613223cd693155/modules/activiti-webapp-rest2/src/main/java/org/activiti/rest/conf/ActivitiEngineConfiguration.java

Kindly advise as this sounds like bug or possibly limitation and I'm really stuck with my process evaluation. I am using activiti version 5.20.0

Also I have tried earlier copying the mail properties in engine.properties for the activiti-rest similar to activiti-explorer but after going through above source I realize it's not at all reading or considering mail properties.

Kindly suggest workaround in the interim as this I'm stuck.

Thanks.
