Sending An Email Using JSP Code With
Netbeans IDE
In this article I am going to describe how
to send an e-mail in JSP using the NetBeans IDE(7.0). This article is divided
into several Steps.
Step 1 : Downloading and Registering Libraries in NetBeans IDE 7.0.
First of all, you need to download the latest version of Java Mail , as well as
DJ Native Swing. After you download the libraries, you need to put them into the
NetBeans Library Manager. I recommend you store all libraries in, for example,
C:\Program Files\Java\libraries.

boolean sessionDebug = false;
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.host", host);
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
mailSession.setDebug(sessionDebug);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setText(messageText);
Transport.send(msg);
out.println("Mail was sent to " + to);
out.println(" from " + from);
