Fetching the HTML is straightforward. Just create a URL connection and read
the data from the stream.
You could try the following:
1. Implement your report as a JSP or Servlet
2. Write an email component that acts as a client to this servlet which
a) opens a URL connection to your servlet
b) reads the HTML
c) mails it to the intended recipients.
3. Write a cron job to run your email component

Hi John
With JSP it is like a template and I need not worry about placing the
content
within the template. that is the only reason for me to use a JSP.
We have some applications already running Apache - Tomcat
and adding a JSP is not going to be difficult
Also with JSP I can alter the format very easily
Please feel free to point out if I'm wrong.
how could I get the html source? Could you please explain it for me.
Thanks
Deepa

If you combine #3 and #4, your problem is solved. "Format the details as a
report"...how would you format them if not HTML? All you have to do is
stream the HTML into a buffer, then send that out as the body of a message.
You'll want to set the ContentType on your message to HTML.
You could do all of this from a JSP, but why would you want to? A cron job
can call java and execute a class.
If, on the other hand, you are saying that you already have a JSP that
generates the report to a browser, and you want to sent that output to
someone as an email message, that's different.
