mailTask configuration

[fchatzia]

I tried to make the configurations as the guide says so, but mail task still does not work? In activiti.cfg.xml i wrote <property name="mailServerHost" value="localhost" />, i have default port 25 so i didn't put anything else into activiti.cfg.xml. I want to mention that i call the activiti process(that has the mailtask) as service from a server where the mail server is installed too and i call the process via liferayportlet.

Setting host and port should be enought. Do you see any exception?

[fchatzia]

No, fortunately the process engine is running on a server as java  service  and the only exception i get is remote problems. To be more  specific, i have a webapp project where there is an initiated process engine and a service which gives me the opportunity to run this engine remotely from another webapp where i can remotely startprocesses, end tasks etc . In the webapp where the process engine runs i have an activiti.cfg.xml file, which i attached, and in this file i put these statements    <property name="mailServerHost" value="********" />
     <property name="mailServerPort" value="25" />. But the mail tasks doesn't work.


here is the activiti.cfg.xml

You should be a bit more specific than "does not work". Do you see an exception when the mail-task executes, or does the mail doesn't get delivered?

[fchatzia]

It doesn't throws exception because the task never be completed

[fchatzia]

For some reason i set asynchronous property true and the task work

Very strange … that doesn't make sense really … but without much other information I'm afraid we can't be of much assistance.
