Note: 

   1. While configuring Action to store the data, we specify the path as follows:
      Eg: /tmp/formdata   or /tmp/formdata/
   
   To Override the form data, We have to specify like
      /tmp/formdata
   To store data in another node, We have to specify like
      /tmp/formdata/

Configuring Email Notification


In order to send email from CQ, the Day CQ Mail Service needs to be configured properly. 
Procedure: 1. Go to felix web console (http://<host-name>:<port>/system/console/configMgr)
2. Search for Day CQ Mail Service
3. Edit and configure as follows:

a.  The SMTP server port must be 25 or higher.
b.  The SMTP server host name must not be blank.
c.  The "From" address must not be blank.  

Screen shot:


Simple code to send an email

There are difference ways to send an email.

Method 1: Using SimpleEmail

        SimpleEmail email = new SimpleEmail();
        email.setHostName('smtp.gmail.com");
        email.addTo("mail@gmail.com", "John Doe");
        email.setFrom("yourmail@gmail.com", "Me");
        email.setSubject("Test message");
        email.setMsg("This is a simple test of commons-email");
        email.send();

Method 2: Using HtmlEmail without using MessageGateway


        HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
        email.setHostName("smtp.gmail.com");
        email.addTo("mail@domain.com", "John Doe");
        email.setFrom("yourmail@domain.com", "Me");
        email.setSubject("Test email with inline image");

        // set the html message //
        email.setHtmlMsg("<html>The apache logo - <img src=\"cid:"
        +cid+"\"></html>");
         
        // set the alternative message
        email.setTextMsg("Your email client does not support HTML messages");
        email.send();

Note: We can also read smtp details from the felix console configurations instead of passing smtp details directly.
