Hello Shawn,
thanks for your reply. I'm using Jetspeed 1.6, so unfortunatly I can't
use that. By the way, where do you set the content-type to "text/html"?
I'm currently using the VelocityEmail class as follows:
VelocityEmail vemail = *new* VelocityEmail();
context.put("bestellung", oData); // here I put the oData-object into
the context of the user, so that I can use it and read the data from the
database
context.put("email", vemail);
vemail.setTo("SvenRichter", "emailaddress");
vemail.setFrom("Recipient", "emailadress");
vemail.setSubject("Bestellung");
vemail.setContext(context);
vemail.setTemplate("portlets/html/email-confirm.vm");
vemail.send();
And it works just fine for text-messages. But I just can't set the
content-type to "text/html". As a result the email-client is displaying
the message as text, instead of html. That's why I tried the following
using the VelocityHtmlEmail class:
VelocityHtmlEmail vemail = new VelocityHtmlEmail(data);
context.put("vmail", vemail);
context.put("bestellung", oData);
vemail.addTo("emailaddress", "Sven Richter"); //data.getUser().getEmail());
vemail.setFrom("Recipient", "emailaddress");
vemail.setHtmlTemplate("portlets/html/email-productpurcase.vm");
vemail.send();
But that way I can't use 'vemail.setContext(context);'. Because of that
I can't access the data from the database using '$bestellung' in the
template, which makes the whole thing useless to me.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot,
Sven.

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.
