GMail via Spring JavaMailSenderImpl

Sometimes I hate Google. It can give too many wrong answers. Yet, they look so enticing, like I'm a little kitten playing for hours with a ball of yarn. It gets me nothing.

None the less, here's how to properly configure Spring's JavaMailSenderImpl to -properly- send mail through Google Mail using your gmail account.

      <bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">

          <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/> 

          <property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>

          <property name="port" value="465"/> 

          <property name="username" value="${mail.username}"/>

          <property name="password" value="${mail.password}"/>

          <property name="javaMailProperties">

              <value>

              	mail.debug=true

              	mail.smtp.auth=true

              	mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=java.net.SocketFactory

              	mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false

              </value>

          </property>

      </bean>
