No provider for smtp

[juancorr]

Feedback and contact mails was not sending in e-cienciaDatos (https://edatos.consorciomadrono.es) . We obtain a NoSuchProviderException in the server.log. We have found this exception in v4.11 and v4.8.3, but not in v4.9.3.

In our current installation, code calls to MailServiceBean.sendMail (String from, String to, String subject, String messageText) and not to MailServiceBean.sendMail(String host, String reply, String to, String subject, String messageText).

We have "solved" this problem harcoding our localhost mail server:
public void sendMail(String reply, String to, String subject, String messageText, Map<Object, Object> extraHeaders) {
try {
Properties props = System.getProperties();
String host="127.0.0.1";
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

Our asadmin call was:
asadmin create-javamail-resource --mailhost 127.0.0.1 --mailuser eciencia@consorciomadrono.es --fromaddress eciencia@consorciomadrono.es mail/notifyMailSession

If it is a configuration problem, the mail configuration documentation could be perhaps improved

Hello,

Configuration and smtp server have not be changed.

Do you already have this issue? And a solution :)

[qqmyers]

I haven't seen this issue in updating to 4.20. The smtp configuration is in glassfish, so have you tried seeing what
bin/asadmin get server.resources.mail-resource.mail/notifyMailSession
returns?
If you need to change that, http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/installation-main.html has the set command to use.

@poikilotherm is proposing a much simpler and standardized (through MicroProfile Config a.k.a MPCONFIG) way to configure SMTP in the following issue:

• Move Java Mail configuration to application #7424

(There's no PR yest but I do see a branch: develop...poikilotherm:dataverse:7424-maildefinition )

@juancorr @tcoupin perhaps you could give feedback there. I'm hoping it prevents issues like this one. Meanwhile, is it ok to close this issue? We could all follow #7424 instead. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
