Constructor Detail

Transport

public Transport(Session session,
                 URLName name)

Constructor taking Session and URLName parameters required for Service.Service(Session, URLName).

Parameters:

session - the Session this transport is for

name - the location this transport is for

Method Detail

send

public static void send(Message message)
                 throws MessagingException

Send a message to all recipient addresses it contains (as returned by Message.getAllRecipients()) using message transports appropriate for each address. Message addresses are checked during submission, but there is no guarantee that the ultimate address is valid or that the message will ever be delivered.

Message.saveChanges() will be called before the message is actually sent.

Parameters:

message - the message to send

Throws:

MessagingException - if there was a problem sending the message

send

public static void send(Message message,
                        Address[] addresses)
                 throws MessagingException

Send a message to all addresses provided irrespective of any recipients contained in the message itself using message transports appropriate for each address. Message addresses are checked during submission, but there is no guarantee that the ultimate address is valid or that the message will ever be delivered.

Message.saveChanges() will be called before the message is actually sent.

Parameters:

message - the message to send

addresses - the addesses to send to

Throws:

MessagingException - if there was a problem sending the message

sendMessage

public abstract void sendMessage(Message message,
                                 Address[] addresses)
                          throws MessagingException

Send a message to the supplied addresses using this transport; if any of the addresses are invalid then a SendFailedException is thrown. Whether the message is actually sent to any of the addresses is undefined.

Unlike the static send(Message, Address[]) method, Message.saveChanges() is not called. A TransportEvent will be sent to registered listeners once the delivery attempt has been made.

Parameters:

message - the message to send

addresses - list of addresses to send it to

Throws:

SendFailedException - if the send failed

MessagingException - if there was a problem sending the message

addTransportListener

public void addTransportListener(TransportListener listener)

removeTransportListener

public void removeTransportListener(TransportListener listener)

notifyTransportListeners

protected void notifyTransportListeners(int type,
                                        Address[] validSent,
                                        Address[] validUnsent,
                                        Address[] invalid,
                                        Message message)
