GMailJava class for sending Async emails 



Simple reusable GMailJava class for sending Aysnc emails. Copy the class, change the username/password and use it in your next project. 





   Step 1: Add dependencies to your maven project


    <!-- mail -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
        <artifactId>mail</artifactId>
        <version>1.4</version>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- Apache Commons Validator -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-validator</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-validator</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.0</version>
    </dependency>

    

    Step 2: Copy EmailService.java to your project & set username/password

    code: https://github.com/intesar/GMailJava/blob/master/src/main/java/com/bia/gmailjava/EmailService.java


    Sample code

      EmailService emailService = EmailService.getInstance();
      emailService.sendEmail("<toemail>", "<subject>", "<body>");

    Design Decisions
     No interface is define to keep simpler eco-system, feel free to add yours if required and refactor code accordingly
     Pattern's & Technique's used - Singleton, Command, Async, Inner class







Also you can clone it on github https://github.com/intesar/GMailJava

Hi, I'm using the code posted on GitHub, but I can't send messages. I've configured the username and password in YahooMailService and in EmailService. The test were successful but I have no mail in my inbox :S. I'd appreciate any help.

Access multiple Databases in JPA

According to JPA specification we can define multiple "persistence-unit" elements (i.e. like below) in persistence.xml file and can easily refer them inside Dao layers as this. public class PolarDaoImpl {     @PersistenceContext(unitName="PolarPU")     protected EntityManager entityManager; -- } public class BearDaoImpl {     @PersistenceContext(unitName="BearPU")     protected EntityManager entityManager; -- } Checkout sample persistence.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">     <!-- Database 1 -->     <persistence-unit name="PolarPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">        ...

Validating CSV Files

What is CsvValidator ?   A Java framework which validates any CSV files something similar to XML validation using XSD. Why should I use this ?   You don't have to use this and in fact its easy to write something your own and also checkout its source code for reference. Why did I write this ?   Some of our projects integrate with third party application which exchanges information in CSV files so I thought of writing a generic validator which can be hooked in multiple projects or can be used by QA for integration testing. What is the license clause ?   GNU GPL v2 Are there any JUnit test cases for me checkout ?  Yes,  source How to integrate in my existing project ? Just add the Jar which can be downloaded from here  CsvValidator.jar  and you are good. Instantiate  CsvValidator c onstructor which takes these 3 arguements          // filename is the the file to be validated and here ...
