Sending email from a simple JSF Form

Question

Hi,
Sorry if this is a very basic question. I have a simple JSF (with ADF BC) form that collects information and I store the submitted values in the backing bean. I am even able to display the input values in a than you page. I just want a pointer on how I can use this data in the backing bean to email that data.
I have tried importing the JavaMail.jar and activation.jar files into my project and tried a few sample java programs I found to do this simple task. But, I am not sure I am importing the right classes to use this in a JSF program. For eg. this program right here.. not sure if the oracle.jbo.Session is the right class to import for Session.
package view.beans;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
import oracle.jbo.Session;
public class javaMailer{
    public javaMailer() {
    public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject, String message , String from) throws MessagingException
        boolean debug = false;
         //Set the host smtp address
         Properties props = new Properties();
         props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.jcom.net");
        // create some properties and get the default Session
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
        session.setDebug(debug);
        // create a message
        Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
        // set the from and to address
        InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
        msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
        InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
            addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks John. Stupid me. I added the jar files to my Web-INF folder but never added the jar files to the ViewController project through the Project Properties window. Once I did that, the errors disappeared.
Thanks for your help! :-)
