End-to-end paths for Mail, URLs, and other Java EE resources

This page provides a starting point for finding information about resources used by applications that are deployed on a Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE)-compliant application server. They include:

• JavaMail support for applications to send Internet mail

• URLs, for describing logical locations

• Resource environment entries, for mapping logical names to physical names

• Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) resources and other technology for data access (discussed elsewhere)

• Java Message Service (JMS) resources and other messaging system support (discussed elsewhere)

Subtopics

• Enable J2EE applications to use mail resources with JavaMail
  We can enable the Java EE applications to use mail resources with the JavaMail API.

• Use URL resources within an application
  Java EE applications can use Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) by looking up references to logically named URL connection factories through the java:comp/env/url subcontext, which is declared in the application deployment descriptor and mapped to installation specific URL resources.
