Interface JavaMailSender

All Superinterfaces:

MailSender

All Known Implementing Classes:

JavaMailSenderImpl

public interface JavaMailSender

extends MailSender

Extended MailSender interface for JavaMail, supporting MIME messages both as direct arguments and via preparation callbacks.

Not as easy to test as a plain MailSender, but still rather easy compared to full JavaMail code: Just let createMimeMessage return a plain MimeMessage created with a Session.getInstance (empty properties) call, and check the given messages in your mock implementations of the various send methods.

The recommended way of using this class is the MimeMessagePreparator mechanism, possibly using a MimeMessageHelper for populating the message. See MimeMessageHelper's javadoc for an example.

Parameters:

contentStream - the raw MIME input stream for the message

Returns:

the new MimeMessage instance

Throws:

MailParseException - in case of message creation failure

MailException

send
