EMAIL notifications with Oracle SOA Suite 11g

In this example we will use Apache JAMES as our email server and MS Outlook as email client.

We will configure SOA Suite to use James and then we shall create a simple BPEL process to send an email.

· Download from http://james.apache.org/
· Unzip to a directory of your choice
· Start James



telnet into James and create a couple of users

o telnet localhost 4555
o root/root
o adduser bpelsender welcome1
o adduser bpelreceiver welcome1
o adduser jcooper welcome1



Configure Email client for jcooper, bpelsender etc.
