How to send emails from spring application using gmail?

Question

I am working on a spring (annotation based) application.

One of the page asks user to provide their contact details and message. Once this page is submitted, I want these details to be sent by email to my company ID.

Can someone provide sample example/code which I can use to achieve this functionality? I want to use gmail smpt server.

It sounds like what you want is Java Mail...

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html

This will allow you to send mail through the gmail smtp server...

smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)

Use Authentication: Yes

Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

Port for SSL: 465

According to http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287

You can either use JavaMail (SMTP) or Google API.

JavaMail is more straightfoward, but use SMTP communication. Google API is a bit longer to get it on, but is web based (REST)

Look here: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/reference/mail.html

Create a JavaMailSenderImpl bean with the SMTP data from GMail and register it into the application context.
