ICS5.1: Sending an eMail if a Resource is blocked

Question

Hi,
I have the following question:
A user schedules a new event and he invites also a "resource" (i.e. a meeting room) which is available as an resource calendar. Is it possible to send an eMail from the iPlanet Calendar Server 5.1 (with Calendar Express as client) when the resource is blocked from another user for this time?
Thanks in advance for every help
Marcel

It's not a matter of "easier way" to send mail from servlet...you are missing a crucial element in your code: authorization to send mail. You need something like this (some of which you have already so note what is different):
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", String3 );
        properties.put("mail.smtp.dsn.notify", "SUCCESS" );
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "mailservernamegoeshere");
        properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        MyAuthenticator auth = new MyAuthenticator();
        auth.setUser("user whos account you want to use goes here");
        auth.setPassword("user password goes here");
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( properties,auth );Here is the auth class:
class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
   protected String m_strUser     = null;
   protected String m_strPassword = null;
   protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()  {
      return new PasswordAuthentication(m_strUser,m_strPassword);
   public void setUser(String strUser)  {
      m_strUser = strUser;
   public void setPassword(String strPassword)  {
      m_strPassword = strPassword;
