use strutsed jsp as email template ?
Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to use a jsp file to format an email body
(something like a velocity template)
(I don't want to embed emailer custom tags in the jsp)
In my idea I would like to find a way to do something like that :
------------------------------
example.jsp :
------------------------------
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<html>
Some String : <bean:write name="myBean">
</html>
-----------------------------
example.java :
-----------------------------
Template myEmailTemplate = new Template("example.jsp");
myEmailTemplate.setAttribute("request", "myBean", "the value of my string");
String messageBody = myEmailTemplate.format();
Any idea ?

You might be able to use java.net.URL or something like it to have
your Java code call for the page and use its contents. It seems
awkward and might not fit into an offline application, but it's
possible in theory.
Since JSPs are fundamentally servlets, I don't see anyway you could
do this in the absence of a Servlet container.

The short answer is no.
Take a look at velocity at http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/index.html .

I'm sure I had a discussion about this sort of thing with someone on this
list, but for the life of me I can't think who.
You could write your own custom tag which just stores its body's contents in
a bean's property, so you would have something like...
<custom:store name="myBean" property="emailText">
<html>
Some String : <bean:write name="myBean">
</html>
</custom:store>
Then in your action get a RequestDispatcher and do an include
EmailBean emailBean = new EmailBean();
request.setAttribute("myBean", emailBean );
javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd =
request.getRequestDispatcher("/myEmailTemplate.jsp");
rd.include(request, response);
String emailText = emailBean.getEmailText();
