Sending E-mail with Spring Maven Project

Add your dependencies

Add spring-context-support and javax.mail dependencies to your project

    <dependency>

        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

        <artifactId>spring-context-support</artifactId>

        <version>3.2.0.RELEASE</version>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

  <groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>

        <artifactId>javax.mail</artifactId>

        <version>1.5.5</version>

</dependency>

Make your SMPTP your MailSender Object

Go to your bean definitions and add the following bean :

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">  

          <property name="host"><value>smtp.gmail.com</value></property>

          <property name="port"><value>465</value></property>

          <property name="protocol"><value>smtp</value></property>

          <property name="username"><value>youremail</value></property>

          <property name="password"><value>password</value></property>

          <property name="javaMailProperties">

            <props>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">false</prop>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.quitwait">false</prop>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.class">javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory</prop>
                <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback">false</prop>
                <prop key="mail.debug">true</prop>
            </props>
        </property>

</bean>

Send your mail with MailSender

Now, all you need to do is to prepare your mail message object and send it using a MailSender instance :

    @Service

    public class WorkbookMailSender {

        @Autowired
        private MailSender mailSender;
public void sendMail(String to, String subject, String message) { SimpleMailMessage mailMessage = new SimpleMailMessage(); mailMessage.setSubject(subject); mailMessage.setTo(to); mailMessage.setText(message); mailMessage.setSentDate(new Date());
this.mailSender.send(mailMessage);
}

  }

That's it.
