Configure Spring to send email with GMail SMTP

Sending emails with Spring could be quite straight forward just need to configure a bean and JavaMail dependencies. First thing first:

1. Insert mail dependencies

File : pom.xml

<dependencies>
 ... 
 <!-- Java Mail API -->
 <dependency>
 <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
 <artifactId>mail</artifactId>
 <version>1.4.3</version>
 </dependency>
 ...
</dependencies>

2. Bean configuration file

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
 <property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
 <property name="port" value="587" />
 <property name="username" value="username" />
 <property name="password" value="password" />

 <property name="javaMailProperties">
 <props>
 <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
 <prop key="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</prop>
 </props>
 </property>
</bean>

<bean id="mailMail" class="com.corleonis.common.MailMail">
 <property name="mailSender" ref="mailSender" />
</bean>

That's it straight forward now you can set and send emails from your application.
