public class mail

extends SG8Servlet

A servlet for sending email to addresses derived from database entries. If the request does not name a context and object, the servlet will throw an exception. If the session does not contain an authenticated connection to the given context and the context is closed, the path is stored in the session and the request is forwarded to the authenticate JSP. If the input does not define an identifier, a corresponding SG8Search bean is constructed and passed through the session to the search JSP. If the input defines an identifier, a corresponding SG8Discovery bean is constructed and passed to the compose JSP, which will send a request in turn to the servlet with the contents of the mail message. Destination addresses are derived from the entry or from a given attribute which could either list email addresses explicitly or point through distinguished name values to other entries from which to derive addresses. The servlet attempts to deliver the email, and if successful the object is passed via SG8Discovery bean to the verify JSP.
