Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Administration Reference

Properties

You can set properties for the mail-resource element and then get these properties in a JavaMail Session object later. Every property name must start with a mail- prefix. The Application Server changes the dash (-) character to a period (.) in the name of the property, then saves the property to the MailConfiguration and JavaMail Session objects. If the name of the property doesn’t start with mail-, the property is ignored.

For example, to define the property mail.password in a JavaMail Session object, first edit domain.xml as follows:

...
 <mail-resource jndi-name="mail/Session" ...>
     <property name="mail-password" value="adminadmin"/>
 </mail-resource>
 ...

After getting the JavaMail Session object, get the mail.password property to retrieve the value adminadmin, as follows:

String password = session.getProperty("mail.password");
