Re: How to generate a HTML-confirmation mail

[sgtmcd]

I am using spring context to create the engine, I am suspect that is 
where your issues are....hopefully not.....or maybe you are using spring 
as well?

        <bean id="velocityEngine" 
class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean">
          <property 
name="resourceLoaderPath"><value>/pages/velocity/</value></property>
        </bean>

//engine is injected by spring context.

HashMap model = new HashMap();
Model.put("some", "stuff");
VelocityContext data = new VelocityContext(model);
StringWriter canvas = new StringWriter(); 
velocityEngine.mergeTemplate("template.vm", data, canvas); 
String body =  canvas.toString();

if you aren't using spring.......

hopefully you can extract what you need from that.  :-)

Thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I was trying to do for the 
last 2 days. Could you please give me a code sample?

Thanks a lot,

I took a different approach.  I rendered a velocity template (using 
the velocity engine) then used standard java mail api stuff, set the 
body of the email as the rendered velocity template, set the mime 
type to html, etc.

Hello,

Can someone please tell me a way to generate a HTML-confirmation 
email from a velocity template using VelocityEmail or another class?

I know that there's a class VelocityHtmlEmail, but in that class I 
can't seem to pass the Context from the Java class to the template 
(there is no 'setContext()' in that class). Or maybe somebody can 
suggest me another class, that I could use (with a small example on 
how to use it).

Thanks a lot,
Sven.
