Cannot read email body with Spring: javax.mail.FolderClosedException

I'm trying to listen my Gmail inbox for incoming mails. Every time new mail arrives, I want to see it's subject and content.
So far, I have this:
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.mail.BodyPart;
import javax.mail.Folder;
import javax.mail.internet.ContentType;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.apache.commons.mail.util.MimeMessageParser;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.integration.channel.DirectChannel;
import org.springframework.integration.mail.transformer.MailToStringTransformer;
import org.springframework.messaging.Message;
import org.springframework.messaging.MessageHandler;
import org.springframework.messaging.MessagingException;
public class GmailInboundImapIdleAdapterTestApp {
private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(GmailInboundImapIdleAdapterTestApp.class);
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
#SuppressWarnings("resource")
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ac = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/META-INF/spring/integration/gmail-imap-idle-config.xml");
DirectChannel inputChannel = ac.getBean("receiveChannel", DirectChannel.class);
inputChannel.subscribe(new MessageHandler() {
public void handleMessage(Message<?> message){
MimeMessage mm = (MimeMessage) message.getPayload();
try {
System.out.println("Subject: "+mm.getSubject());
System.out.println("Body: "+readPlainContent(mm));
}
catch (javax.mail.MessagingException e) {
System.out.println("MessagingException: "+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
private static String readHtmlContent(MimeMessage message) throws Exception {
return new MimeMessageParser(message).parse().getHtmlContent();
}
private static String readPlainContent(MimeMessage message) throws Exception {
return new MimeMessageParser(message).parse().getPlainContent();
}
}
It can read the mail subject correctly. But no luck with mail body.javax.mail.FolderClosedException hit me. How to fix this?

As Gary said: simple-content="true" or since recently autoCloseFolder = false: https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/5.2.0.RELEASE/reference/html/mail.html#mail-inbound
Starting with version 5.2, the autoCloseFolder option is provided on the mail receiver. Setting it to false doesn’t close the folder automatically after a fetch, but instead an IntegrationMessageHeaderAccessor.CLOSEABLE_RESOURCE header (see MessageHeaderAccessor API for more information) is populated into every message to producer from the channel adapter. It is the target application’s responsibility to call the close() on this header whenever it is necessary in the downstream flow:

Java WebSocket session resulting to null after onOpen

I am using websockets for the first time on a javafx project, when I start the program the session is set to the local variable session, but after when I call the sendMessage function the session is back to null. Below please find my client class
package myclient;
import java.io.IOException;

Scene scene = new Scene(root);
connectToWebSocket();
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
private void connectToWebSocket() {
System.out.println("Client WebSocket initialized>> " + this.session);
WebSocketContainer container = ContainerProvider.getWebSocketContainer();
try {
URI uri = URI.create("ws://localhost:8080/Server/endpoint");
container.connectToServer(this, uri);
}
catch (DeploymentException | IOException ex) {
LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
System.exit(-1);
}
}
public void sendMessage(String message) throws IOException{
if(this.session != null){
System.out.println(message + ", " + this.session);
this.session.getBasicRemote().sendText(message);
}
else {
System.out.println("Session is null");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I think I now do know the answer to this.
You are probably using tomcat or some other server for this. When you see "tomcat" in this answer, please insert the name of your actually used server.
When a connection to your websocket is opened, tomcat will create an instance of the websocket (your Client) class by itself. This means, the onOpen-Method will be called and it will look as if it was you who created the instance, who opened the connection, when really you did not. Tomcat did.
This in turn means, that when you call sendMessage on your Client instance, the session will be null, because this object never connected anywhere.
Oh, and you don't have access to the connected instance that was created by tomcat.
One way of fixing this would be to do all the work inside the onOpen-Method, however that is not practical. You may want to put the work in another method and call it from onOpen. That way, the instance created by tomcat will do the necessary work.
In my project I needed to poll on an MQTT-Topic and render the data on a website (university assignment). I did the polling in a separate class, resulting in hard to debug errors whenever trying to send received data with my sendMessage-method.
I hope this answer does clear this up a little, if not for you, maybe at least for future generations having the same university assignment...

Websockets Tomcat 7 does not work in existing project

I try to run a websocket server in a Java project that was running on Tomcat6. I have set up a Tomcat 7 server where the project now is running on.
First I tried to run the socket example of Tomcat7. This run perfectly. I copied this class to my old project. When I run the old project again all the functionalities are working like before but only the websocket server doe not work.
This is the ChatAnnotation class that I have copied from the examples from Tomcat to my old project.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArraySet;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
import javax.websocket.OnClose;
import javax.websocket.OnError;
import javax.websocket.OnMessage;
import javax.websocket.OnOpen;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
#ServerEndpoint(value = "/websocket/chat")
public class ChatAnnotation {
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ChatAnnotation.class);
private static final String GUEST_PREFIX = "Guest";
private static final AtomicInteger connectionIds = new AtomicInteger(0);
private static final Set<ChatAnnotation> connections = new CopyOnWriteArraySet<ChatAnnotation>();
private final String nickname;
private Session session;
public ChatAnnotation() {
nickname = GUEST_PREFIX + connectionIds.getAndIncrement();
logger.info("ws instance");
}
#OnOpen
public void start(Session session) {
this.session = session;
connections.add(this);
String message = String.format("* %s %s", nickname, "has joined.");
broadcast(message);
}
#OnClose
public void end() {
connections.remove(this);
String message = String.format("* %s %s", nickname, "has disconnected.");
broadcast(message);
}
#OnMessage
public void incoming(String message) {
// Never trust the client
String filteredMessage = String.format("%s: %s", nickname, message.toString());
broadcast(filteredMessage);
}
#OnError
public void onError(Throwable t) throws Throwable {
logger.error("Chat Error: " + t.toString(), t);
}
private static void broadcast(String msg) {
for (ChatAnnotation client : connections) {
try {
synchronized (client) {
client.session.getBasicRemote().sendText(msg);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.debug("Chat Error: Failed to send message to client", e);
connections.remove(client);
try {
client.session.close();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// Ignore
}
String message = String.format("* %s %s", client.nickname, "has been disconnected.");
broadcast(message);
}
}
}
}
I have noting added in my web.xml. In my old project are also tcpsockets used can this be the problem?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
EDIT
Class added:
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import javax.websocket.Endpoint;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerApplicationConfig;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class ExamplesConfig implements ServerApplicationConfig {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ChatAnnotation.class);
public Set<ServerEndpointConfig> getEndpointConfigs(Set<Class<? extends Endpoint>> endpointClasses) {
Set<ServerEndpointConfig> result = new HashSet<ServerEndpointConfig>();
log.info("getEndpointConfigs");
return result;
}
public Set<Class<?>> getAnnotatedEndpointClasses(Set<Class<?>> scanned) {
log.info("getAnnotatedEndpointClasses");
return scanned;
}
}

Java websocket server use return value of ServerApplicationConfig interface to deploy programmatic endpoints and for annotated endpoints.
For Tomcat example, if you change the package name of ChatAnnotation. You have to modify websocket.ExamplesConfig too.
public Set<Class<?>> getAnnotatedEndpointClasses(Set<Class<?>> scanned) {
// Deploy all WebSocket endpoints defined by annotations in the examples
// web application. Filter out all others to avoid issues when running
// tests on Gump
Set<Class<?>> results = new HashSet<>();
for (Class<?> clazz : scanned) {
String name = clazz.getPackage().getName();
boolean ok = name.startsWith("websocket.");
if (ok) {
results.add(clazz);
}
}
return scanned;
}
The getAnnotatedEndpointClasses(scanned) only return classes which package name start with websocket. Unmatched classes will not deployed even they have #ServerEndpoint declarations.

WebSocket and Endpoint

My IDE : NetBeans, GlassFish.
I am trying to understand how GlassFish execute and run the Endpoint!
I understand Glassfish as a webserver creates new Endpoint instance for each connection, and the Set : peers in the code appears as one global variable for every instance of endpoint.
My question is : how to add another global variable(s) so every instance of endpoint can access it?
enter code here
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import javax.websocket.OnClose;
import javax.websocket.OnMessage;
import javax.websocket.OnOpen;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;
#ServerEndpoint("/echo")
public class EchoServer {
/**
* #OnOpen allows us to intercept the creation of a new session.
* The session class allows us to send data to the user.
* In the method onOpen, we'll let the user know that the handshake was
* successful.
*/
private static final Set<Session > peers = Collections.synchronizedSet(new HashSet<Session >());
#OnOpen
public void onOpen(Session session){
System.out.println(session.getId() + " has opened a connection");
try {
peers.add(session);
session.getBasicRemote().sendText("Connection Established");
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
#OnMessage
public void onMessage(String message, Session session) throws IOException{
System.out.println("Message from " + session.getId() + ": " + message);
for (Session peer : peers) {
peer.aplayer.getBasicRemote().sendText(" Message from " + session.getId()+" : "+message);
}
}`enter code here`
#OnClose
public void onClose(Session session){
System.out.println("Session " +session.getId()+" has ended");
peers.remove(session);
}
}

Using a Session interface in another class

I have a web application I am making using a websocket API to handle the websockets, here is the code for that part
package comm2.hello;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.websocket.OnClose;
import javax.websocket.OnOpen;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;
import org.apache.catalina.session.*;
#ServerEndpoint(value = "/echo")
public class wschat {
private static ArrayList<Session> sessionList = new ArrayList<Session>();
#OnOpen
public void onOpen(Session session) {
try {
sessionList.add(session);
// asynchronous communication
session.getBasicRemote().sendText("hello");
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
public void send(String text, Session session) throws IOException {
session.getBasicRemote().sendText(text);
}
}
I am trying to have another java class then call into the send method to send messages, using the following code.
package comms;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import comm2.hello.*;
public class main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
wschat h = new wschat();
String text = "hello";
//session shouldn't be null but not sure what to make it
Session session = null;
h.send(text,session);
}
}
As you can see, I have the session variable in the main.java class set to null which will thus always produce a null pointer error. This is because I am not sure what to make session equal to, does anyone have any idea what to initialize the session variable to in main.java?
