Java and Emails: How to Use Jakarta Mail

Java has been ranking as one of the most popular web programming languages for many years. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to send emails in Java with HTML content as well as images using an SMTP server.

The main option is to use a Java API for sending and receiving emails via SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. It is implemented as an optional package compatible with any operating system. At the same time, Jakarta Mail is supplied as a part of Jakarta EE and Java EE platforms. In the earlier releases, the mail package was titled “JavaMail API”. However, since July 2019, the Java software has been further developed by the Eclipse Foundation. This is why the email package also got the new name. All main classes and properties are the same for both JavaMail and Jakarta Mail.

Getting Started with Jakarta Mail

To start working with Jakarta Mail, first of all, you should insert the jakarta.mail.jar file into your CLASSPATH environment. You can download it from the Jakarta Mail project page on GitHub.
Besides, you can find Jakarta Mail jar files in the Maven repository and add them to your environment with Maven dependencies:

  <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
            <artifactId>jakarta.mail</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.4</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

Please note that if you use JDK 1.5 or older versions, you will also need an implementation of the JavaBeans Activation Framework.

import java.util.;
import javax.mail.;
import javax.mail.internet.;
import javax.activation.;

Let’s focus on the main steps for preparing HTML email and sending it via an external SMTP server.

Jakarta Mail Classes and Syntax

Let’s review core classes and properties, which are most frequently used for building and sending messages with Jakarta Mail.

Session Class (javax.mail.Session) is the primary one connecting all the properties and defaults. The following methods are used to get the session object:

getDefaultInstance() returns the default session
public static Session getDefaultInstance/(Properties props)
public static Session getDefaultInstance(Properties props, Authenticator auth)
getInstance(): returns the new session.
public static Session getInstance(Properties props)
public static Session getInstance(Properties props, Authenticator auth)

Message class (javax.mail.Message) is an abstract class for actually building an email message. We will mostly use its Mime Message (javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage) subclass and its main methods:

setFrom(Address[ ] addresses) sets the “From” header field.

public void addFrom(Address[ ] addresses)

addRecipients(Message.RecipientType type, String addresses) adds the given address to the recipient type.

public void addRecipient(Message.RecipientType type, Address[ ] addresses)
Message.RecipientType.TO “To”
Message.RecipientType.CC “Cc”
Message.RecipientType.BCC “Bcc”
MimeMessage.RecipientType.NEWSGROUPS “Newsgroups”

setSubject(String subject) sets the subject header field.

public void setSubject(String subject)

setText(String textmessage) sets the text as the message content using text/plain MIME type.

public void setText(String textmessage)

setContent(Object o, String type) sets this message’s content.

public void setContent(Object o, String type)

To send emails via an external SMTP server, use com.sun.mail.smtp package: it is an SMTP protocol provider for the JavaMail API that provides access to an SMTP server.

The main properties are:
Mail.smtp.user, default username for SMTP.

Mail.smtp.host, the SMTP server to connect to.

Mail.smtp.port, the SMTP server port to connect to, if the connect() method doesn’t explicitly specify one. Defaults to 25.

To enable SMTP authentication, set the mail.smtp.auth property or provide the SMTP Transport with a username and password when connecting to the SMTP server.

SMTPMessage class is a specialization of the MimeMessage class for specifying SMTP options and parameters. Simply use this class instead of MimeMessage and set SMTP options using the methods on this class.

public SMTPMessage(Session session)

Transport ( javax.mail.Transport) is an abstract class for sending messages.

Transport.send(message);

To view all classes and their methods, see this section of the Jakarta Mail documentation.

How to Install OpenJDK 11 on CentOS 8

What is OpenJDK?

OpenJDk or Open Java Development Kit is a free, open-source framework of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (or Java SE). It contains the virtual machine, the Java Class Library, and the Java compiler. The difference between the Oracle OpenJDK and Oracle JDK is that OpenJDK is a source code reference point for the open-source model. Simultaneously, the Oracle JDK is a continuation or advanced model of the OpenJDK, which is not open source and requires a license to use.

In this article, we will be installing OpenJDK on Centos 8.

Going Beyond Java 8: Local Variable Type Inference (var) - DZone Java

According to some surveys, such as JetBrains’s great survey, Java 8 is currently the most used version of Java, despite being a 2014 release.

What you are reading is one in a series of articles titled ‘Going beyond Java 8,’ inspired by the contents of my book, Java for Aliens. These articles will guide you step-by-step through the most important features introduced to the language, starting from version 9. The aim is to make you aware of how important it is to move forward from Java 8, explaining the enormous advantages that the latest versions of the language offer.

In this article, we will talk about the most important new feature introduced with Java 10. Officially called local variable type inference, this feature is better known as the **introduction of the word **var. Despite the complicated name, it is actually quite a simple feature to use. However, some observations need to be made before we can see the impact that the introduction of the word var has on other pre-existing characteristics.

How to Validate an Email Address in Java

Email is one of the most universal tools for sharing and receiving information across the globe, with users able to connect with others online with almost no compatibility or access issues. Using this tool, information can be instantly and securely sent to partners on the other side of the world, and personal information can be verified without divulging sensitive data about a user.

Along with this widespread use, however, comes key security measures that must take place in order to ensure the safety of your organization and data. This is particularly the case when receiving email information from previously unknown sources. These risks can include phishing attempts, malware, and other threats that can cause a negative impact to your business. Furthermore, when receiving an email address via account forms and user sign up information, you need to check that the information you are given is not only correct and real, but also that it does not lead to any malicious sources that could harm your organizational security.

The following APIs will allow you to instantly verify and validate an input email address without sending any kind of notification to the email user. This will help protect your organization in the event of any threats. The goal of this tutorial is to provide you with the tools to protect your organization’s information while providing a way to verify new accounts and user information.

This will be done through three separate functions. The first will analyze the validity of an email address’ syntax. The second will check for the address’ servers, and the third performs a full email address validation including returning the results for the previous two functions.

What is Assertion in Java?

The assertion in Java is used to ensure the correctness of any program’s assumptions as the assertion is assumed to be true when it is executed. The Java Virtual Machine throws an error named AssertionError if the assertion is false. The assertion in Java has found its application mainly for testing purposes. Boolean expressions are used along with assertion statements. An assertion is a statement, and the ‘asset’ keyword is used to carry out an assertion in Java.
