Asynchronous email notification in groovy - email

Question

I have the below code in a groovy class, I want to call this method asynchronously from various other groovy classes.
public void sendNotification(){
//async true
String from = ApplicationConfig.email_From;
String sendTo = ApplicationConfig.email_To;
String host = ApplicationConfig.email_Host;
String subject = ApplicationConfig.email_Subject;
String textToSend = ApplicationConfig.email_Text;
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try{
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(sendTo));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(textToSend);
Transport.send(message);
}catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
So far I couldn't find anything that fits my requirement, there are some plugins in grails, but I'm not using grails.

Answer 1

Just use an ExecutorService
ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2)
def sender = { ->
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", ApplicationConfig.email_Host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try{
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(ApplicationConfig.email_From));
message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(ApplicationConfig.email_To));
message.setSubject(ApplicationConfig.email_Subject);
message.setText(ApplicationConfig.email_Text);
Transport.send(message);
}catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void sendNotification() {
pool.submit(sender)
}
