Construting HTML Email from Struts
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to construct an HTML formatted email
using a struts jsp and a DynaForm? I want our visual designers to be
able to updload an email "template", which is just a Struts jsp with
the dynabean properties. We would then upload a mapping (something
like hql in nature), that would query our database, and fill in the
dynabean. The batch job would fire and create the html from the
struts jsp, inserting into the body. We would then email that text.
Any Ideas?
Todd

Its just the name of the scripting variable that you use in the
<bean:define> where the body of whats enclosed in the <bean:define> will be
written to (in this case the genrated email).

It's pretty awkward to use JSP to render templated text not to a
browser; I've settled on using Velocity for that even though we still
use JSP for web pages.
You could probably work out a way to call a URL from within your Java
code to retrieve a page and use the results as the body of your
email, if you really wanted to stick with JSP.

Ok got it!

That's what I meant. I mean you don't need recursive degression in order
parse a file like this. ;-)

Nils,
When you say special tags, do you mean creating custom tags? The
reason I want to have this dynamic environment is so that we can
upload content without the need to deploy another ear. This way when
the business people change the content of the email, we can easily
upload a new format and send out the email.

Tiles scope headache assistance needed.
Posted by Jason Long <su...@sbcglobal.net>.
I have the following problem with scope and tiles. The whole point of this
is to be able to put a holder around items presented in a list on the page
to give better delineation. Here is what I am attempting to do.
<logic:iterate id="quote" property="quoteValues">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<bean:write name="quote" property="size"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</logic:iterate>
I would like to define the following tile definition:
<definition extends=".table.holder" name=".quote">
<put name="content" value="/quote.jsp"/>
</definition>
And have quote.jsp as follows:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<bean:write name="quote" property="size"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
And then switch the page to the following:
<logic:iterate id="quote" property="quoteValues">
<tiles:insert definition=".quote" flush="false"/>
</logic:iterate>
I always get Cannot find bean quote in any scope no matter what I do. I
have tried many variations of <tiles:useAttribute/> and
<tiles:mportAttribute/>. I do not want to want to simply pass a string to
the tile. I need to be able to make any bean availble to other tiles
inserted into a page. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to make
this available to my subtiles.
Thank you for your time,

Sounds a bit complicated! Why do you need
to have struts tags? I would go for plain html and add
special tags for whatever you need.
