Problem with Spring Mail Sender

[hardik.rajani]

My Spring.xml is something like this:

<beans>
	<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
		<property name="host" value="_local-mail-server_" />
	</bean>


	<bean id="businessLogic" class="com.logic.BusinessLogicImpl">
		<property name="mailSender" ref="mailSender"></property>
</bean>
</beans>

And bean definition is as below:

import org.springframework.mail.MailException;
import org.springframework.mail.MailSender;
import org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage;

public class BusinessLogicImpl implements BusinessLogic {

	private MailSender mailSender;

	public void setMailSender(MailSender mailSender) {
		this.mailSender = mailSender;
	}

	@Override
	public void execute() {
        SimpleMailMessage msg = new SimpleMailMessage();
        msg.setFrom(_senderAddress_);
        msg.setTo(_receiverAddress_);
        msg.setText("Hello, just sending you this message.");
    
        try {
            mailSender.send(msg);
        } catch(MailException ex) {
            // log it and go on
            System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

}

when I run this program i get exception as below:

Please help solving this problem. I tried using different configuration but it did not worked.

You need the mail.jar in your classpath; you need to download the JavaMail jars if you already don't have them.

You would also be needing the Java Activation Framework libraries [activation.jar] if you are not using Java 6.
