I am trying to build an error reporting service for my web page. The idea is simple. If an error pops up in a client browser while visiting, I want an error handler to send me notofication about it. My page is static, so I want to avoid adding server side components for that. Can I use ajax request for example and use a gmail account to send the mail to me? I guess ajax does not do cross domain? Maybe there is some other option?

EDIT

My primary language is Java.
What about Google App engine? I can host an app there that can send email. Not sure how I can interact with that app though?

Other idea – if I must use server side component, maybe the best option is to find ready web application (I have java application server running on my host) that sends mail and deploy it. Then I can contact the mail sender with Ajax.

    The best way to do this is the following:

    1. You need to set up a web service that accepts the error information.
    2. The web service will generate the email content and send to gmail.
    3. The client (via ajax) will consume this web service and post the error information.

    This way your credentials are secure on your server. If you indicate the development language, we may be able to help with a bit more details.
