Attachments
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-35?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Ben Speakmon updated EMAIL-35:
------------------------------
Attachment: HtmlEmail.patch
> [email] Embedding raw DataSource Attachments
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: EMAIL-35
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-35
> Project: Commons Email
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Brandon Wolfe
> Attachments: EnhancedHtmlEmail.java, HtmlEmail.patch
>
>
> I kick myself for not submitting this prior to 1.0. An important feature
> missing from org.apache.commons.mail.HtmlEmail is the ability to embed an
> arbitrary DataSource object. The current API only allows you to embed from a
> URL. My usage of CommonsEmail often includes the generation of image data
> on-the-fly, where it does not exist at a pre-defined URL.
> I propose the addition of a key method:
> public String embed(DataSource datasource, String name, String cid) throws
> EmailException
> This will allow us to attach our own datasources in addition to defining our own
> content-ids. Helper methods can be created to auto-generate CIDs when needed
> and allow for backwards compatability. I've found that being able to provide my
> own defined CIDs has been very helpful in referencing them in my velocity email
> templates.
> I will attach the current EnhancedHtmlEmail class that I have been using for a
> year or so. It extends HtmlEmail to provide the methods explained above. I
> would hope to have this capability introduced into the HtmlEmail class.
> Feel free to contact me to discuss further! Thanks.
