create contact form in jsp?

Question

I'm able to send email by using the following code and by using Javamail API, through which I can send to any email-id using "FROM"as my "yahoo email id". The code:

mailFORM.html

    <%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    
    
    
    Mail form in html
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Mail API

    
    
    To:
    
    
    
    From:
    
    
    
    Subject:
    
    
    
    Description:

mail.jsp

    <%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    
    <%@ page language="java" import="javax.naming.*,java.io.*,javax.mail.*,
    javax.mail.internet.*,com.sun.mail.smtp.*"%>
    
    
    sending mail using contactus form
    
    
    <%
    try{
    Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(System.getProperties());
    Transport transport = new SMTPTransport(mailSession,new URLName("smtp.mail.yahoo.com"));
    transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps");
    transport.connect("smtp.mail.yahoo.com",465,"myyahooid@yahoo.com","myyahoopassword");
   MimeMessage m = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
   m.setFrom(new InternetAddress(%><%request.getParameter("from")%><%));
   Address[] toAddr = new InternetAddress[] {
   new InternetAddress(%><%request.getParameter("to")%><%)
   };
   m.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddr );
   m.setSubject(%><%request.getParameter("subject")%><%);
   m.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
   m.setContent(%><%request.getParameter("description")%><%, "text/plain");

   transport.sendMessage(m,m.getAllRecipients());
   transport.close();
   out.println("Thanks for sending mail!"); 
   }
   catch(Exception e){
   out.println(e.getMessage());
   e.printStackTrace();
   }
   %>

Now, I want to create a simple CONTACTUS form in which I'll eliminate the "TO" field from "mailFORM.html" file for obvious reasons. As I only want any visitor to visit my website and send email to "mycompanyid@domain.com" by entering FROM, NAME, SUBJECT and description.

So how can I eliminate this problem of entering username and passwod. As I can't create a code in which I 've entred passord here. I can't create separate codes for different smtp's...as VISITIR visting my website contactus page can fill the form by entering his/her email from any domain i'e gmail, yahoo etc.

To conclude I just want to create form like this(taking any anonymous website) which sends the details to company's specific email-ids like "mycompanyid@domain.com"

Hard code your To email id in your JSP file, but its a good practice avoid writing your java code in JSP, should write only method call.

private final String TO_EMAIL = "something@domain.com";

see my code it works for all SMTPS.

package com.naveed.workingfiles;

public class Mail {

String bcc;


// #=============================================================================================#

public void sendMail(String receiverId) {

    try {
        // this below commented line for the HTML body text
        // MultiPartEmail htmlEmail = new HtmlEmail();
        // OR

        MultiPartEmail email = new MultiPartEmail();
        // setting the port number
        email.setSmtpPort(getPortNumber());
        // authenticating the user
        email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator(getSenderID(),
                getSenderPassword()));
        // email.setDebug(true);
        email.setSSL(true);
        // setting the host name
        email.setHostName(getHostName());

        email.addTo(receiverId);

        // check for user enterd cc or not
        if (getCc() != null) {
            // add the cc
            email.addCc(getCc());
        }
        // check for user enterd bcc or not
        if (getBcc() != null) {
            // add the bcc
            email.addBcc(getBcc());
        }
        // setting the sender id
        email.setFrom(getSenderID());
        // setting the subject of mail
        email.setSubject(getSubject());
        // setting message body
        email.setMsg(getBody());
        // email.setHtmlMsg(""+getBody()+"");

        // checking for attachment attachment
        if (getAttachmentPath() != null) {
            // add the attachment
            EmailAttachment attachment = new EmailAttachment();
            attachment.setPath(getAttachmentPath());
            attachment.setDisposition(EmailAttachment.ATTACHMENT);
            email.attach(attachment);
        }

        // send the email
        email.send();
        // System.out.println("Mail sent!");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // System.out.println("Exception :: " + e);
        e.printStackTrace();

    }
}// sendmail()
}// mail

only you need to save all respective domain details (hostname,port), based on user email set all setters. down load all required libraries.
