Using GMail as Mail Server for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Notifications Rommel Pino
Lucas Jellema has a good post about configuring SOA Suite 11g for sending email notifications with Google Jeddah, Saudi
Mail, but unluckily, as he also noted, it was not working anymore. Nevertheless, that post demonstrated Arabia
that Gmail could work as SMTP server for Oracle SOA and inspired me to dig more. In this post, I will share View my complete
my configuration and the steps that I have made to have a working GMail SMTP server. The following are profile
my suggested steps:

3. Import the GMail's SSL certificate into Java keystore
4. Remove "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\DemoTrust.jks" in setDomainEnv.cmd

Configure Workflow Notification Properties

Replace the "admin@javasoadev.com" and "action@javasoadev.com" with your own gmail address. You
could replace both with just a single account. Don't be alarmed with my email address configuration that
doesn't end with "gmail.com" because I have subscribe to Google Apps where I could have a customized

Hi ,
To begin , this is a great post, Thanks,

I did not have to remove "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\DemoTrust.jks" in

setDomainEnv.cmd . This was because i added gmail.cert to DemoTrust.jks too. The password for adding is
DemoTrustKeyStorePassPhrase.
