Hi Leon,
I build HTML mail content by simply using normal WebObject pages. Here
is the relevant code coming from one of my component action methods:
NewPhotosEmail email = (NewPhotosEmail)
pageWithName("NewPhotosEmail");
email.setArtist(artist);
email.setPhotos(photos);
String message = email.generateResponse().contentString();
I just pass the "message" string as the email content. You can put in
the mail page everyting a normal web page would contain. The instance
variables of the mail page will be used as usual. The only gotcha is
that URL generated by WebObjects WOHyperlink components are relative to
the web server htdoc folder. I solve this by adding a "base url"
component in the header of my mail page, like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="generator" CONTENT="WebObjects 5.2">
<TITLE>Annonce de nouvelles photos</TITLE>
<WEBOBJECT NAME=baseURL></WEBOBJECT>
</HEAD>
baseURL: WOGenericContainer
{
elementName = "BASE";
href = baseURL;
}
The href binding contains "http://myDomainName.com";. Since I found no
WebObject method returning this URL correctly in both dev and
deployment configurations, I put the value in the Property file or in
runtime arguments.
