Developer would like to create a new JNDI email connection in Tomcat.

RESOLUTION

1) Copy mail.jar (from java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html" target=_blank>the javax/mail package) and activation.jar (from the JavaBeans Activation Framework) into TOMCAT/common/lib. You should be able to place these JAR files anywhere in your classpath if this is not an appropriate location for your setup.

2) Add a Mail Session under the /Audium context in Tomcat. It is highly recommended that the web-based interface be used for this, since there are only two text fields to fill out, rather than an XML file. You can access the web interface via

http://APP_SERVER_IP:PORT/admin

Expand the "Host (hostname)" branch, and then the "Context (/Audium)" branch. Click on "Mail Sessions", you can add the session here.

3) The session should be named "mail/ANY_NAME_YOU_CHOOSE". For example, one might choose "mail/AudiumMailSession".

4) Be sure to click on "Commit Changes" to save this new mail session after it has been added.

5) In Audium Builder for Studio, edit the configuration of the Email element in question. Set the JNDI name to the "ANY_NAME_YOU_CHOOSE" portion of what you entered in the Tomcat settings. In the example above, one would enter "AudiumMailSession". Note that you should not include the "mail/" portion here.
