[Building Sakai] How to send a email?

[Steve Swinsburg]

If you want to do it from the Web Services, you'll need to use the ComponentManager:

import org.sakaiproject.component.cover.ComponentManager;
import org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService;

Create an instance var and class constructor:

private EmailService emailService;
public SakaiScript() {
	emailService = (EmailService) ComponentManager.get(EmailService());
}

use it:
emailService.xxx();

I'm (eventually) going to convert the web services over to use the other API's like this so we can get rid of the static covers.

cheers,
Steve
