I am using Tomcat 6 to send a email client with Javax.mail APIs , i set up my configurations in server.xml as below
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
And in my web.xml as below
<resource-ref>
<description>Resource reference to a container-managed JNDI JavaMail factory for sending e-mails.</description>
<res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
But when i tried to create a mail Session ...using context.lookup
ontext initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
*mailSession = (Session)envCtx.lookup("mail/Session");*
The call nvCtx.lookup("mail/Session"); is not returning....it goes and break in org/springframework/jms/listener/DefaultMessageListenerContainer ...
Any Clues ....
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

As you don't use spring use this:
Source: Apache Tomcat 6.0 Documentation - JDNI Resources
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
Session session = (Session) envCtx.lookup("mail/Session");
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(request.getParameter("from")));
InternetAddress to[] = new InternetAddress[1];
to[0] = new InternetAddress(request.getParameter("to"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
message.setSubject(request.getParameter("subject"));
message.setContent(request.getParameter("content"), "text/plain");
Transport.send(message);
Your configuration looks ok, may you need to clean the server first (if you use eclipse).
Anyway: If you use spring then you can use the spring Framwork to access the JNDI ressource:

</beans>
