Email configuration - Activiti REST

[anjan]

We are using Activiti REST and we would like to configure Mail Server host and Port for sending emails.  I saw that activiti-custom-context.xml file has 'mailServerHost' and 'mailServerPort' properties configured for the bean processEngineConfiguration.  But all this configuration is commented out.  Please advice.  We are using the latest Activiti version 5.17.0

Can anyone help me.

Hi Martin, I saw this configuration.  But activiti.cfg.xml file doesn't exist any more in the latest version of Activiti 5.17.0.  Am I missing something?  Please advice.

ProcessEngine can be configured by class too (org.activiti.engine.ProcessEngineConfiguration)
for tests:
org.activiti.rest.conf.engine.ActivitiEngineConfiguration

attributes are the same.

Hi Martin,

I see that explorer module engine configuration (https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/master/modules/activiti-webapp-explorer2/src/main/java/org...) has Email configuration changes,

<code>
String mailEnabled = environment.getProperty("engine.email.enabled");
   if ("true".equals(mailEnabled)) {
     processEngineConfiguration.setMailServerHost(environment.getProperty("engine.email.host"));
     int emailPort = 1025;
     String emailPortProperty = environment.getProperty("engine.email.port");
     if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(emailPortProperty)) {
       emailPort = Integer.valueOf(emailPortProperty);
     }
     processEngineConfiguration.setMailServerPort(emailPort);
     String emailUsernameProperty = environment.getProperty("engine.email.username");
     if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(emailUsernameProperty)) {
       processEngineConfiguration.setMailServerUsername(emailUsernameProperty);
     }
    
     String emailPasswordProperty = environment.getProperty("engine.email.password");
      if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(emailPasswordProperty)) {
        processEngineConfiguration.setMailServerPassword(emailPasswordProperty);
      }
</code>

But the rest module (https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/master/modules/activiti-webapp-explorer2/src/main/java/org...) doesn't have the same.

So if I add this to REST and configure the email settings in engine.properties, this should work right?

OK, I see the issue.
Please add it there and create a pull request.
