[Building Sakai] EmailService patch

[Adrian Fish]

Hi All,

I've attached an svn diff file for Sakai 2.5.x's email service. This 
patch adds a set of attributes to the BasicEmailService class. These are:

m_smtpUser
m_smtpPassword
m_smtpUseSSL
m_smtpDebug

These can be set from sakai.properties, like this:

smtpUser at org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService=<SMTP_USER>
smtpPassword at org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService=<SMTP_PASSWORD>
smtpUseSSL at org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService=true
smtpDebug at org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService=true

Two methods in the class have changed, sendMail and sendToUsers, the 
changes involving setting up the Session properties to use 
authentication and perhaps SSL.

To use this patch against 2.5.x you need to remove old versions of 
mail.jar (in my case it was mail-1.3.1.jar) and make sure that 1.4.2 
gets placed in shared by maven.

I've tested this against gmail using authentication and SSL, and it 
works. What I've not tested is that Digests still work okay, but they 
should as BaseDigestService uses the send, and consequently the sendMail 
method which I've patched.

To apply it, cd into your 2.5.x SAKAI_SRC/email directory, copy 
email.diff in, and run this:

patch -p0 < email.diff

You should hopefully get some output like this:

patching file email-shared-deploy/pom.xml
patching file email-impl/.classpath
patching file 
email-impl/impl/src/java/org/sakaiproject/email/impl/BasicEmailService.java
patching file email-impl/impl/pom.xml
patching file email-api/.classpath
patching file email-api/api/pom.xml

Any problems, drop me a line.

Cheers,

Adrian.
