RE: [Springframework-developer] E-Mail Templating Support

[Rob H. <ro...@ca...>]

Well that is easy, but you need to create and configure an instance of
VelocityEngine before you can use that, and that may lead to the bad
practice of creating and initializing a new instance once per message. =
It
would be a trivial job to abstract all this away, plus then we could add
support for other templating engines.

That's already pretty easy: You can generate the email text with the
"mergeTemplateIntoString" of Spring's VelocityTemplateUtils helper, and =
pass
the result String into SimpleMailMessage's or MimeMessageHelper's =
setText
methods. 1 line to render the template (passing in a model Map), 1 line =
to
use it as email text for a given message.

It seems like a good number of the relatively complex j2ee apps=20
eventually end up rolling their own version of something like this (I=20
know we did at one of my last gigs, although that was before spring), so =

if you can come up with a decent abstraction this would be worthwhile.
