Getting String object of compiled template

["Bolinger, Gregg D" <Gr...@intrustbank.com>]

I have done this before and for the life of me can't find the code nor
can I figure out how I found out.  I have a template that I would like
to use for Emailing.  To work with the JavaMail API I just need to get a
String back of the template merged with the data.  Can someone tell me
how to do this?  I searched the archives but didn't come up with
anything.

 

Thanks.

I do the exact same thing for email. It's just a couple lines of code. 

This should do it...
//import java.io.StringWriter;
// import velocity classes

        VelocityEngine eng = new VelocityEngine();
        //setup engine
        
        StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
        
        VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
        // populate context
        
        eng.mergeTemplate("myTemplate.vm", context, writer);
        String result = writer.toString();
