How to define the configuration property mail.password
To define the configuration property mail.password
, you need to specify the password for your email account in your application's configuration file.
Here are the steps to follow:
For Spring Boot applications:
- Create a
application.properties
file in the root of your project (orapplication.yml
if you prefer YAML format). - Add the following line to the file:
spring.mail.password=<your-email-password>
Replace
<your-email-password>
with the actual password for your email account.
For non-Spring Boot applications:
- Create a configuration file for your application (e.g.,
config.properties
orconfig.xml
). - Add the following line to the file:
mail.password=<your-email-password>
Replace
<your-email-password>
with the actual password for your email account.
For Java-based applications:
- Create a Java class that extends
java.util.Properties
orjava.util.HashMap
. - Add the following line to the class:
put("mail.password", "<your-email-password>");
Replace
<your-email-password>
with the actual password for your email account.
For other frameworks or platforms:
Consult your framework's or platform's documentation for specific instructions on how to define configuration properties.
Remember to keep your email password secure by not hardcoding it in your code or configuration files. Consider using environment variables or a secrets manager to store sensitive information like passwords.
