Question

I am trying to send email from java using SQL Server sp_send_dbmail

From within SQL Server itself the following works fine to send an HTML email. [i.e. I have set everything up correctly for sending emails as per
Microsoft’s instructions
]

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
    @profile_name = 'example profile',
    @recipients = '[e-mail]',
    @body = @tableHTML,
    @body_format = 'HTML' ,
    @subject = 'Email from SQL Server';

However when trying to send from java using the following code

public static synchronized int sendEmail(String profileName,String recipients,String body, String body_format,String subject) {
        final String sendEmailStr = "{execute msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail (?,?,?,?,?,?)}";
        dbConn  = DBConnection.getInstance();
        Connection conn = dbConn.getConnection();
        CallableStatement stmt = null;
        int result = RESULT_FAILED;
        try {
            stmt = conn.prepareCall(sendEmailStr);
            stmt.setString("profile_name", profileName);
            stmt.setString("recipients", recipients);
            stmt.setString("body", body);
            stmt.setString("body_format", body_format);
            stmt.setString("subject", subject);

            stmt.registerOutParameter(6, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
            stmt.execute();
            result = stmt.getInt(6);
        } catch(SQLException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
            Log.getInstance().write("Exception on sendEmail " + e.toString());
        } finally {
            try {
                stmt.close();
                dbConn.returnConnection(conn);
            } catch(SQLException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
                Log.getInstance().write("Exception on sendEmail " + e.toString());
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

I get the following exception com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Parameter profile_name was not defined for stored procedure

What am I doing wrong?

Please change your query string to use call as below:

 final String sendEmailStr "{ call msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail (?,?,?,?,?,?) }";

To use the stored proc from your current DB, please execute this in your current DB to wrap the MSDB call through a local procedure:

  Use [MyDatabase]; 
     CREATE PROCEDURE [MyDB].[SEND_EMAIL_DB] 
       @profile_name2 varchar(max), 
       @recipients2 varchar(max), 
       @body2 varchar(max), 
       @body_format2 varchar(max), 
       @subject2 varchar(max), 
       @p_result int OUTPUT 
     AS 
       BEGIN  
          exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail  @profile_name=@profile_name2,
                   @recipients=@recipients2,@body=@body2,
                   @body_format=@body_format2,@subject=@subject2 
       END
