Spring, Quartz and JavaMail Integration Tutorial

Quartz is a job scheduling framework which is used to schedule the jobs to be executed on the specified time schedule.JavaMail is an API to send/recieve emails from Java Applications.

Spring has integration points to integrate Quartz and JavaMail which makes easy to use those APIs. Lets create a small demo application to show how to integrate Spring + Quartz + JavaMail.

Our application is to send birthday wishes emails to friends everyday at 6 AM.

Email.java

package com.sivalabs.reminders;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
public class Email
{
 private String from;
 private String[] to;
 private String[] cc;
 private String[] bcc;
 private String subject;
 private String text;
 private String mimeType;
 private List<Attachment> attachments = new ArrayList<Attachment>();
  
 public String getFrom()
 {
  return from;
 }
 public void setFrom(String from)
 {
  this.from = from;
 }
 public String[] getTo()
 {
  return to;
 }
 public void setTo(String... to)
 {
  this.to = to;
 }
 public String[] getCc()
 {
  return cc;
 }
 public void setCc(String... cc)
 {
  this.cc = cc;
 }
 public String[] getBcc()
 {
  return bcc;
 }
 public void setBcc(String... bcc)
 {
  this.bcc = bcc;
 }
 public String getSubject()
 {
  return subject;
 }
 public void setSubject(String subject)
 {
  this.subject = subject;
 }
 public String getText()
 {
  return text;
 }
 public void setText(String text)
 {
  this.text = text;
 }
 public String getMimeType()
 {
  return mimeType;
 }
 public void setMimeType(String mimeType)
 {
  this.mimeType = mimeType;
 }
 public List<Attachment> getAttachments()
 {
  return attachments;
 }
 public void addAttachments(List<Attachment> attachments)
 {
  this.attachments.addAll(attachments);
 }
 public void addAttachment(Attachment attachment)
 {
  this.attachments.add(attachment);
 }
 public void removeAttachment(int index)
 {
  this.attachments.remove(index);
 }
 public void removeAllAttachments()
 {
  this.attachments.clear();
 }
}

Attachment.java

package com.sivalabs.reminders;
 
public class Attachment
{
 private byte[] data;
 private String filename;
 private String mimeType;
 private boolean inline;
  
 public Attachment()
 {
 }
  
 public Attachment(byte[] data, String filename, String mimeType)
 {
  this.data = data;
  this.filename = filename;
  this.mimeType = mimeType;
 }
 public Attachment(byte[] data, String filename, String mimeType, boolean inline)
 {
  this.data = data;
  this.filename = filename;
  this.mimeType = mimeType;
  this.inline = inline;
 }
 public byte[] getData()
 {
  return data;
 }
 public void setData(byte[] data)
 {
  this.data = data;
 }
 public String getFilename()
 {
  return filename;
 }
 public void setFilename(String filename)
 {
  this.filename = filename;
 }
 
 public String getMimeType()
 {
  return mimeType;
 }
 
 public void setMimeType(String mimeType)
 {
  this.mimeType = mimeType;
 }
 
 public boolean isInline()
 {
  return inline;
 }
 
 public void setInline(boolean inline)
 {
  this.inline = inline;
 }
  
}

EmailService.java

package com.sivalabs.reminders;
 
import java.util.List;
 
import javax.activation.DataSource;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource;

public class EmailService
{
 private JavaMailSenderImpl mailSender = null;
 public void setMailSender(JavaMailSenderImpl mailSender)
 {
  this.mailSender = mailSender;
 }
  
 public void sendEmail(Email email) throws MessagingException {
  MimeMessage mimeMessage = mailSender.createMimeMessage();
  // use the true flag to indicate you need a multipart message
  boolean hasAttachments = (email.getAttachments()!=null &&
         email.getAttachments().size() > 0 );
  MimeMessageHelper helper = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage, hasAttachments);
  helper.setTo(email.getTo());
  helper.setFrom(email.getFrom());
  helper.setSubject(email.getSubject());
  helper.setText(email.getText(), true);
   
  List<Attachment> attachments = email.getAttachments();
     if(attachments != null && attachments.size() > 0)
     {
      for (Attachment attachment : attachments)
      {
          String filename = attachment.getFilename() ;
          DataSource dataSource = new ByteArrayDataSource(attachment.getData(),
                 attachment.getMimeType());
          if(attachment.isInline())
          {
           helper.addInline(filename, dataSource);
          }else{
           helper.addAttachment(filename, dataSource);
          }
      }
     }
   
  mailSender.send(mimeMessage);
 }
}
