problem with simply an email task

[bonsoir]

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.

then i import to activiti explorer and start the process and this is what happened :

i saw the "avax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;"  but i did add the configruation in the activiti.cfg.xml.

would you please give me some suggestions?

Thanks.

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…

depoly the bar file to activiti explorer.  how can you change activiti.cfg.xml file after deployment in activiti-explorer?

Thanks

[frederikherema1]

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?

[frederikherema1]

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")

still the Unit test msg mentions "could not connect to SMTP host:localhost, prot:25;"   how come???

[frederikherema1]

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?
