Send e-mail to multiple recipients that are entered in a form

Question

Hello,
I wonder if somebody could help me...at least with the clue to do the following.
I have a form, with a textarea , where the people should put the e-mail addreses of all the people that, later will receive all the form data via e-mail..
I do not know how to retrieve all these e-mail addresses from the textarea (format?) and then how to send the e-mail to multiple recipients .
It works for one...but I do not know how to do this for several recipients...
could you please help?

Answer 1

use string tokenizer to tokenize the string and then use this in ur smtp coding
message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, to)
where 'message' is object of MimeMessage
and 'to' is array of Address
ex:-
Address[] to = new Address[count];
Earlier u must be using message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to)
where to is object of Address.
Sample code:-
suppose String posted from ur form is :-
to = "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]"
StringTokenizer toAdd = new StringTokenizer(to,",");
Address[] address=new Address[toAdd.countTokens()];     
int j=0;
while(toAdd.hasMoreTokens()){
address[j]=(new InternetAddress(toAdd.nextToken()));
j++;
}
