Further to my java stuff from yesterday, I wanted to add the ability to send myself an email when the task completes successfully. I poked around the web and found this solution:
https://www.mkyong.com/java/javamail-api-sending-email-via-gmail-smtp-example/
The first example worked for me, once I enabled the ‘less secure’ apps method for my Gmail account.
I modified the above code, using the snippet at this link. This let me send an attachment with the email!
public class SendAttachmentInEmail {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
String to = "destinationemail@gmail.com";
// Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
String from = "fromemail@gmail.com";
final String username = "username";//change accordingly
final String password = "password";//change accordingly
// Assuming you are sending email through relay.jangosmtp.net
String host = "relay.jangosmtp.net";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
// Get the Session object.
Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
});
try {
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Now set the actual message
messageBodyPart.setText("This is message body");
// Create a multipar message
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "/home/cwg/file.txt"; //full path to file you want to attach
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename); //attachment name in the email
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
