Trying out Spring’s email support , I wanted to
send a simple message to a single recipient using code like:
1
2
3
4
SimpleMailMessage mailMessage = new SimpleMailMessage ()
mailMessage . to = 'me@trash-mail.com'
// ...
mailSender . send ( mailMessage )
To my astonishment this threw an exception:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

Taking a closer look, I recognized that the setTo method of SimpleMailMessage is overloaded as follows:
1
2
public void setTo ( String to )
public void setTo ( String [] to )
