How to send email in Java Spring Boot
First of all, add the spring-starter-mail dependency.
This can also be added by modifying your project pom.xml file to include the following
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-mail</artifactId>
</dependency>
After you've successfully added the dependency, create a class object and access the the JavaMailSender Interface in your code by following these few steps:
Use the
@Autowiredannotation, to inject heJavaMailSenderinterface into theEmailServiceclass.Create a
DemoMailMessageobject.Add email properties by using specific methods (
setTo,setSubject,setText).Call the
send()method to send the email message.
Your code should be similar to this:
package com.example;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage;
import org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSender;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
public class MyClass {
@Service
public class EmailService {
@Autowired
private JavaMailSender mailSender;
public void sendEmail(String to, String subject, String body) {
SimpleMailMessage message = new SimpleMailMessage();
message.setTo(to);
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(body);
mailSender.send(message);
}
}
}
Finally, you need to configure the SMTP server settings in your application.properties file as shown below
spring.mail.host=smtp.example.com
spring.mail.port=25
spring.mail.username=setusername
spring.mail.password=setpassword
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
Then you're good to go.
Since you made it this far, There is an internship program, that I stumbled upon twitter where developers can learn more and network better. There is also an option to get Certificate if you subscribe to the premium package instead.
