Alfresco already has an email action. You could take a look at that or follow a tutorial on the java mail API.

First define ServiceRegistry field in your class


private ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry ;
‍‍‍

Then get serviceRegistry in initialiseHandler() method


this.serviceRegistry = (ServiceRegistry)factory.getBean(ServiceRegistry.SERVICE_REGISTRY);
‍‍‍

Last ,send email using mail actin in execute() method


ActionService actionService = serviceRegistry.getActionService();
Action mail = actionService.createAction(MailActionExecuter.NAME);

mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_SUBJECT, subject);        
mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_TO, recipient);
mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_FROM, from address);
mail.setParameterValue(MailActionExecuter.PARAM_TEXT, body text);
actionService.executeAction(mail, null);

thanks but the problem is that it doesn't even enter in execute() method, I wote a System.out.println() to check, it was negative

Have you configured your class in your process definition xml file?
And you class must inherit from org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.JBPMSpringActionHandler

yes I actually did extends JBPMSpringActionHandler and added the bean of the class in the services-context.xml and in processDefinition.xml as an action inside a task node

Please paste your process definition here.You should configure full class name in process definition,like following


<action class="**.****.***.YourAction" />

If you just want to send email in action handler ,you can also use

org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript ‍

which is a jBPM action handler for executing alfresco Script
