How to send plain text or HTML-encoded email using a JSP with WCM?
The jsp file is the key in this solution/approach. In this case the native java classes in the WAS JVM are used. The html form is included in this technote in case you are more comfortable with the html forms, but you could code the input fields in the jsp itself without requiring the html form.

Create an html component titled "MailHTMLForm" with these contents:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="wcmmail.jsp">
Enter your name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=username SIZE=20><BR>
Enter your email address: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=email SIZE=20><BR>
Enter comments: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=content SIZE=50><BR>
<P>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Send email">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Create a jsp titled "wcmmail.jsp" and place in directory \installedApps\index\wcm.ear\ilwwcm.war\jsp\html
Here are the jsp contents:
//START JSP CONTENTS
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.net.*, javax.mail.*, javax.mail.internet.*, java.util.Properties" %>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
String email = request.getParameter( "email" );
String content = request.getParameter( "content" );
%>
<% if ( email == null || email.equals( "" )) { %>
Please press back button and enter an email address.
<% } else {
Properties emailProperties = new Properties();
emailProperties.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
emailProperties.setProperty("mail.host", "myMailServer.mycompany.com");
emailProperties.setProperty("mail.from", email);
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(emailProperties, null);
Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
message.setSubject("WCM Javamail");
message.setContent( content , "text/html");
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(email));
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(email));
transport.connect();
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
transport.close();
%>
<br/>
This name will be registered <%= request.getParameter( "username" ) %>
<br/>
Your email has been sent to <%= email %> with this timestamp <%= new java.util.Date() %>
<% } %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
//END JSP CONTENTS
Modify the jsp for your email server/environment. Create a WCM JSP component titled "SendMailJSPComponent" with this path: /jsp/html/wcmmail.jsp

http://myPortalServer.myCompany.com:10040/wps/wcm/jsp/html/emailform.htm
