This tutorial will teach us how to send an email in Glassfish using JavaMail session injection. It use gmail for sending the email.

1.) First we need to create a JavaMail session by, opening Glassfish admin: http://localhost:4848, and navigating to Resources->JavaMail Sessions.

2.) Click "New" button and input the following values:
JNDI Name: mailSession
Mail Host: smtp.gmail.com
Default User and Default Sender Address: any of your valid gmail account

3.) Leave Advance Setting unchange.

4.) On the Additional Properties section, we need to add the following properties:
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.smtp.password=yourPassword
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.port=465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465

5.) And finally a sample code that do the sending:

  msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]", "czetsuya 1"));

  BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
  messageBodyPart.setText("Hello World!.");

  Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
  multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
