Rick,
I had to include mail functionality just last week and I approached the
task with some trepidation as it seems that both the sendmail action and
logicsheet are starting to lose favour with the advent of Cforms and flow.
What to do?
I did some scouring and stumbled across the sendmail transformer. Its
been included for quite some time but probably hasn't achieved the
prominence of the other two methods.
Check it out.
In the sitemap I added this:
<map:match pattern="edmUploadFile">
<map:generate type="session-attr">
<map:parameter name="attr-name"
value="uploadDocMetaData"/>
</map:generate>
<map:transform src="">
<map:transform type="sendmail"/>
<map:serialize type="xml" />
</map:match>
I'm passing an xml document created in flow in a session attribute but
it could come from XSP. I then transform it using a stylesheet, the guts
of which is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:email="http://apache.org/cocoon/transformation/sendmail">
<xsl:template match="document">
<document>
<email:sendmail>
<email:smtphost><xsl:value-of
select="smtpHostName"/></email:smtphost>
<email:from><xsl:value-of
select="emailFrom"/></email:from>
<email:to><xsl:value-of select="edmInbox"/></email:to>
<email:to><xsl:value-of select="emailFrom"/></email:to>
<email:subject><xsl:value-of
select="title"/></email:subject>
<email:body><xsl:value-of select="assetId"/></email:body>
<email:attachment>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="fileName"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="url"><xsl:value-of
select="uploadURL"/></xsl:attribute>
</email:attachment>
<email:attachment>
<xsl:attribute name="name">metaFile.xml</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="mime-type">text/xml</xsl:attribute>
<email:content><document><xsl:copy-of
select="*"/></document></email:content>
</email:attachment>
</email:sendmail>
</document>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()"
priority="-2"><xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates
select="@*|node()"/></xsl:copy></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()" priority="-1"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Make sure you've declared the sendmail transformer in your sitemap and
you're all set:
<map:transformer name="sendmail"
src=""
logger="sitemap.transformer.sendmail"/>
Its a snack.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Tony
