In my Xpages application I want to send (HTML) email from Java. I found this nice EmailBean code as snippet on OpenNTF:
I converted the code to an common Email class and not use it as a managed bean.
I also want to use the code in a different way: instead of working with a DominoDocument that is created from a XPage I want to use the class straight from anotehr java class. However I face the following problems:
The code expects a DominoDocument and a field on that document for the content of the email message.
So in my sendMail method I tried:
Database db = DominoUtils.getCurrentDatabase();
DominoDocument fakeMail = (DominoDocument) db.createDocument();
But this DominoDocument is never created (the code breaks here)
Database db = DominoUtils.getCurrentDatabase();
Document fakeMail = db.createDocument();
works fine but
Email email = new Email();
email.setDocument(fakeMail);
complains that a DominoDocument is expected and a Document is not excepted.
My next thoughts where to skip the creation of a intermediate Document but when I tried
email.setBodyHTML("Hello World");
I get the following message in the console:
[1728:0016-08FC] 2018-09-15 16:18:14 HTTP JVM: Method setBodyHTML(string) is not permitted
Is there anyone who can guide me how I can change this email class so I do not need a DominoDocument? Actually I do not need a Document at all. I could set the properties for the email object myself if the setBodyHTML() would work.
Why not strip down that email class?

Then from your other class add something like this:
private void sendMail(String msg){
try{
Email email = new Email();
email.setSendTo("[email protected]");
email.setSubject("Mail from Java");
email.setSenderEmail("[email protected]");
email.setSenderName("No-reply");
email.setBodyHTML(msg);
email.setBannerHTML("<p>Hi " + email.getSendTo() + ",</p>");
email.setFooterHTML("<p><b>Kind regards,</b><br/>" + email.getSenderName() + "<br/>0044 1234 5678</p>");
email.send();
} catch (Exception e) {
OpenLogUtil.logError(e);
}
}
The DominoDocument is not being read from any more. I added a field: private String bodyHTML . The setBodyHTML method I have altered into a standard setter method.
The send() method I stripped down, mainly this part:
MIMEEntity emailRootChild = emailRoot.createChildEntity();
if (null != emailRootChild) {
final String boundary = System.currentTimeMillis() + "-" + "ABC";
emailHeader = emailRootChild.createHeader("Content-Type");
emailHeader.setHeaderVal("multipart/alternative; boundary=\"" + boundary + "\"");
MIMEEntity emailChild = emailRootChild.createChildEntity();
if (null != emailChild) {
Stream stream = session.createStream();
emailChild = emailRootChild.createChildEntity();
stream = session.createStream();
stream.writeText(this.getHTML());
emailChild.setContentFromText(stream, "text/html; charset=\"UTF-8\"", MIMEEntity.ENC_NONE);
stream.close();
stream.recycle();
stream = null;
}
}
In the end you get just a basic HTML email, without images or attachments. I am not sure if this fits your needs?
