problem with simply an email task

bonsoir — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 22:06:45 GMT

Hi everyone or Activiti developers, I have to admit this is a quite a newbie questions and the solution from old thread doesn't seem to work <property name="mailServerHost" value="mail.my-corp.com" /> <property name="mailServerPort" value="5025" /> ‍‍is added in to activiti.cfg.xml

What do you mean by "I import it to activiti explorer"? You should make sure you replace the existing activiti.cfg.xml file in the activiti-explorer…

The activiti-config for explorer app is wired into this file, inside the WAR-file. Add your stuff in there:

/WEB-INF/activiti-ui-context.xml

I've added my stuff under <bean name="explorerApp" class="org.activiti.explorer.ExplorerApp">

But still i have to install Apache James mail server to send email?

James is mostly used to receive mails. if you want to send mail, just point the config to a valid mail-server (e.g.. smtp.mycompany.com")

Depending on what configuration your process uses (config-file based or standaloneInMemory), you should configure the test-engine's properties as wel… Look into the test-case you're extending and look for initialisation-method you can override and set the mail-server-properties in code or locate the test-context-file.

Would you mind shed some more light? i'm quite confused.

Thanks. Right now i'm just trying to send emails, later on hopefully with the msg variable passed via Exlusivegateway.

the port is ok but the the "Unknow SMTP host : mail.mycorp.com" means this mail host is not valid or?

This isn't a step-by-step forum to get help… It's when you're really stuck with activiti or have found bugs.

The question's you're asking are not really activiti-related (java.net.UnknownHostException: mail.mycorp.com is what is is, UNKNOW HOST -> does the mail-server actually exist? It seems more like an example of a config, rather than an actual mail-server).

Hello,
I'm using eclipse for designing activiti project, my project is very simple i'm just trying to send email, here is the xml code of the bpmn design file:

The exception seems quite clear, no "Caused by: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;"
