You can use an external configuration file - put placeholder values in the main Config.groovy
grails {
mail {
host = "smtp.gmail.com"
port = 465
username = "<changeme>"
password = "<changeme>"
props = [
"mail.smtp.auth":"true",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
"mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"
]
}
}
and then override them with the correct values in the external config:
grails {
mail {
username = "faruq@gmail.com"
password = "12345"
}
}
To be able to change the credentials dynamically at run time it gets rather more complicated. Under the covers the mail plugin creates a Spring bean which is an instance of JavaMailSenderImpl to handle the actual sending of emails, and this bean is configured by default with static settings from the config. But at runtime this class appears to call its own getUsername() and getPassword() every time it needs to send a message. So you could replace this bean with your own custom subclass of JavaMailSenderImpl that overrides these methods to pull the details from the request context (code example, not tested, and imports/error handling omitted):
src/groovy/com/example/RequestCredentialsMailSender.groovy
class RequestCredentialsMailSender extends JavaMailSenderImpl {
public String getUsername() {
return RequestContextHolder.requestAttributes?.currentRequest?.mailUsername ?: super.getUsername()
}
public String getPassword() {
return RequestContextHolder.requestAttributes?.currentRequest?.mailPassword ?: super.getPassword()
}
}
You'd have to register this bean in your resources.groovy
, and duplicate a fair bit of the configuration from the mail plugin itself, which is less than ideal:
grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovy
beans = {
mailSender(com.example.RequestCredentialsMailSender) {
def mailConf = application.config.grails.mail
host = mailConf.host
port = mailConf.port
username = mailConf.username // the default, if not set in request
password = mailConf.password
protocol = mailConf.protocol
javaMailProperties = mailConf.props
}
}
Now when you need to send mail from a controller you can do
request.mailUsername = Branch.get(2).mail
request.mailPassword = Branch.get(2).mailPassword
sendMail { ... }
