Using the MailTo class URL to mail a document

Mailing a document is a good example of using the URL class. Before you start, you must have your client connected to a mailer, such as sendmail.

Create a URL object.
Set a URLConnection object.
Create an OutputStream object from the URL object.

Write the mail. For example:

public static void sendIt() throws Execption{
System.getProperty("mail.host", "salsa.sybase.com");
URL url = new URL(mailto:"name@sybase.com");
 URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
 PrintStream out = new
  PrintStream(conn.getOutputStream(), true); 
out.print ("From: kennys@sybase.com"+"\r\n");
out.print ("Subject: Works Great!"+"\r\n");
out.print ("Thanks for the example - it works   great!"+"\r\n");
out.close();
System.out.printIn(“Messsage Sent”);
}

Install the MailTo class for sending e-mail from within the database:
```
select MailTo.sendIt()
```
```
Message Sent!
```

A connection to a server is required for these actions.
