How can I send email using confluence java api?

[ket.pjwstk]

Hi,

I want to send e-mail to user whenever some action is triggered. How can I achive that using confluence? Or should I use some external java library like java mail?

I solved my problem with com.atlassian.core.task.MultiQueueTaskManager and com.atlassian.confluence.mail.template.PreRenderedMailNotificationQueueItem classes. With PreRenderedMailNotificationQueueItem class (and a template) you can create the message. Then you should

email.render(); and

multiQueueTaskManager.addTask("mail", email); it.

Do not forget to configure your SMTP Server in administration panel.

email.render()? where is that?

Well ... I do not have access to source code download. Anyway, what should I include in pom.xml to obtain *.jar with class mentioned above?

If you have bought license to Confluence, you can download the source from http://my.atlassian.com/

I'd rather not paste the source code here. Sorry.

You get access to the confluence source with the $10 starter licenses - there's really no point in trying to struggle along without it ;)

Download the Confluence source code and take a look at:
com.atlassian.confluence.ext.mailpage.MailPageAction

Likely, you want to wrap your code in an Event Listener.
