The Commons Email is built on top of the Java Mail API, which
basically simplifies the whole process of sending an email. With the
help of HTMLEmail class in commons you can send HTML formatted email. It
has all of the capabilities as MultiPartEmail allowing attachments to
be easily added and also supports embedded images. In this tutorial we
have created a contact US form in JSP so that we can check the
capabilities of this very userful API. To send an email we need a SMTP
server, from Email address, to Email address and a Subject. If your SMTP
server needs authetication then you have to provide the login
credentials.
For this example we are using gmail as our SMTP server. To create the HTML content that needs to go in the message body we have taken help of the WYSIWYG editor based on jQuery named jWysiwyg. You can read more about this editor at http://akzhan.github.com/jwysiwyg/. Following jars in your project classpath for this example to work
