public class ExceptionEmailer
extends AbstractInitializableAttribute
implements ExceptionSubscriber

An ExceptionEmailer sends an email to the specified party upon occurrence of an exception. The functionality is a simplified version of SendMail without attachments or an output. The password is read from a file to avoid storing it in the model.

Field Detail

cc

public StringParameter cc

Email address to copy on the message.

enableSSL

public Parameter enableSSL

Enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

from

public StringParameter from

Email address from which this is sent.

passwordFile

public FileParameter passwordFile

The file that the password is stored in.

reallySendMail

public Parameter reallySendMail

If true, then actually send the email. This is a boolean that defaults to false, meaning that the message is only sent to the output port. This parameter will be set back to false in the wrapup() method, to help prevent duplicate mailings.

replyTo

public StringParameter replyTo

The address to which replies should be directed. This is a comma-separated list that defaults to an empty string, which indicates that the reply should go to the address specified by from.

SMTPHostName

public StringParameter SMTPHostName

Host name for the send mail server.

SMTPPort

public StringParameter SMTPPort

Outgoing SMTP mail port.

SMTPUserName

public StringParameter SMTPUserName

User name for the send mail server.

statusMessage

public StringParameter statusMessage

A status message reflecting the success or failure of actions taken upon occurrence of an exception. Implemented as a public parameter so the message can be displayed in the icon.

to

public StringParameter to

Email address(es) to which this is sent. This is a comma-separated list that defaults to "nobody1@nowhere.com, nobody2@nowhere.com".

Constructor Detail

ExceptionEmailer

public ExceptionEmailer(NamedObj container,
                        java.lang.String name)
                 throws IllegalActionException,
                        NameDuplicationException

Invoked by an exception handler (e.g. CatchExceptionAttribute) when an exception occurs. Some subscribers may need to set up access to resources (such as opening a file) prior to being notified of an exception. These could extend AbstractInitalizableAttribute to do so.

This attribute requires the JavaMail 1.5 javax.mail.jar file be in the classpath.

To use this actor, download javax.mail.jar https://java.net/projects/javamail/pages/Home and place it in $PTII/vendors/misc/javamail. Below are the steps:

    cd $PTII/vendors/misc/javamail
     wget --no-check-certificate http://java.net/projects/javamail/downloads/download/javax.mail.jar
     cd $PTII
     ./configure
  

In Eclipse, you will then need to refresh the project.

*

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the superclass throws it.

NameDuplicationException - If the superclass throws it.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

React to a change in an attribute. This method is called by a contained attribute when its value changes. In this class, if the SMTP host or user name is changed, this method forgets the password.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the change is not acceptable to this container (not thrown in this base class).

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the object into the specified workspace.

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractInitializableAttribute

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new NamedObj.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If any of the attributes cannot be cloned.

Object.clone()

exceptionHandled

public boolean exceptionHandled(boolean succesful,
                                java.lang.String message)

Description copied from interface: ExceptionSubscriber

Invoked by an exception handler (e.g. ExceptionManager) after an exception has been handled.

Specified by:

exceptionHandled in interface ExceptionSubscriber

Parameters:

succesful - True if the exception was successfully handled; false otherwise

message - A status message from the exception handler

Returns:

True if the subscriber successfully processed the information; false otherwise (for example, an ExceptionEmailer that fails to send an email)

exceptionOccurred

public boolean exceptionOccurred(java.lang.String policy,
                                 java.lang.Throwable exception)

Send a mail upon occurrence of an exception.

Specified by:

exceptionOccurred in interface ExceptionSubscriber

Parameters:

policy - The exception handling policy

exception - The exception that occurred

Returns:

True if email was sent successfully (or if notification message was successfully generated if reallySendMail is false), false otherwise
