Email notification example

javydreamercsw — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 21:23:45 GMT

I've been reading across the post for how to set up the email for notifications since it seems is not an out-of-the-box feature. I found the following in the System administration manual:Configuring emailYou can configure the Alfresco repository to send e-mails from an SMTP server.Currently the repo

Looks like there's an error in the System Administration manual.

I had to change this:

…
2. Copy the following block of email properties:
# Email configuration
mail.host=
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=
3. Create a new file in the <extension> directory.
…

to this:

…
2. Copy the following block of email properties:
# Email configuration
mail.host=
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=
3. Create a new file in the webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco directory.
…

Why I think it's wrong? I made the changes based in other applications that have automatic email sending. Also I noticed that the file custom-db-and-data-context.xml refers to files in the mentioned directory so I modified the file like this:

…
<value>classpath:alfresco/repository.properties</value>
<value>classpath:alfresco/version.properties</value>
<value>classpath:alfresco/email.properties</value>
<value>classpath:alfresco/domain/transaction.properties</value>
…

where email.properties is the .properties file created in System Administration instructions.

With this setup I got this error:

I'm checking out the source code to look for the mentioned class (org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.MailActionExecuter).

It should be missing something like this:


props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");

If someone can fix it before I do please let me know. I might take some time. I have Netbeans so I must import from Eclipse first…

The manual says

Currently the repository does not support secure SMTP servers

and Google use secure SMTP for the outgoing mail, so I think that it won't be successfull with GMail.
