WebSphere Adapter for Email

Introduction

Each tutorial provides a complete set of instructions for configuring the adapter so that it can be used by an application server to send requests to a mail server or by a mail server to send requests to an application server.

In the tutorials, you use WebSphere® Integration Developer (and its enterprise service discovery wizard) to configure the adapter, connect to a mail server, and retrieve information about a service on the mail server. Enterprise service discovery then creates the business objects and interface information needed to interact with the service. The business objects and interface information, along with the adapter, are built into a deployable module.

Learning objectives for the outbound scenarios

After completing the outbound tutorials, you should be able to perform the following tasks:

Time required for the outbound scenarios

If the mail server and mail client is set up and configured, the tutorials should take the following amounts of time:
  • Sending outbound data using the sample EAR file– 30 minutes
  • Creating and exporting an outbound EAR file– 45 minutes

Learning objectives for the inbound scenario

After completing the inbound tutorials, you should be able to perform the following tasks:

Time required for the inbound scenario

If the mail server and mail client is set up and configured, the tutorials should take the following amounts of time:
  • Retrieving inbound data using the sample EAR file– 30 minutes
  • Creating and exporting an inbound EAR file– 45 minutes

Audience

The tutorials are intended for the integration developer who will be configuring Adapter for Email software for deployment on WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the tutorials, make sure you have performed the following tasks:
  • Install all prerequisite software
  • Install Adapter for Email software
  • Confirm that the Java™ mail and Activation jar files are in the adapter runtime class path.
    Note: These files are in the RAR file, but you may need to update them if you are not using the most current version of WebSphere Integration Developer.

Also, make sure you have all the information (such as user ID, password, host, and port) needed to access the mail server.

Many of the tutorials included in this section list importing the RAR file as one of the first steps. It is not necessary to import this file multiple times. You can use the same RAR file for all of the scenarios. Or, if you prefer, you can create a new workspace for each tutorial and import the RAR file each time.
