http://theserverside.com/blogs/showblog.tss?id=SpringVelocityEmail Did you see this? I think something like that would be killer. E-mail templates should be very useful. We don't use Spring at work, or Velocity for that matter, but I hate our sections of code that are like if (fail) { // Big

If you build it they will come. You'll find that as the project becomes more functional recruiting will go up. The velocity email templates look okay on the JavaMail side, but still looks a little ugly if you ask me. Not sure what I prefer. I'll have to ponder it. Velocity seems ideal for

If you build it they will come. I agree. I'll take a second look at it, to see what we might want to do. I don't use Spring or Velocity currently. A long time ago I used WebMacro, when servlets first came out, but I haven't used that in ages. Maybe we need some sort of combined approach, or

Have you heard of Groovy? Apparently it's a newer Java-based scripting language that doesn't have the funkiness of Jython syntax. Javascript would be adequate I think. Probably more admin friendly. WWMCSED? What would MCSEs do? ;-) Hit my blog here: Links for Andy's links all together in

I like the idea of a mail solutions framework. Until you get the Exchange functionality going that will probably be the bread and butter. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bbop=viewtopicp=3831222#3831222 Reply to the post :

As you said, JavaScript is probably adequate for the task and more admin friendly. It may be possible to support multiple scripting languages provided they support limiting their domain. Meaning I only want you to script what I expose to you nothing more. JavaScript (aka ECMA) is probably a
