The component in question contained a repetition which was repeating over a “row” subcomponent. I decided to make a “light” version of the row component which relied only on WOString and WOHyperlink. I refactored the “heavier” row component to extend the new, lighter one - and which will only be used inside the app.
Using ERMailUtils.instantiatePage does not create a session using the lighter version of the “row” component embedded. I think like Chuck said, something on the page was requiring a session.

I was using this technique to send batches of emails in the background, so not triggered by any UI action. Below you see how I used to create such a dummy WOContext.

>> I think you are missing my point. It is not ERMailUtils.instantiatePage that is creating a session, it is the content of your component. The component you are e-mailing is using component actions, or referencing session.something, that is why it is creating a session (I think, this is what the cause usually is). You can log out a stack trace (new RuntimeException(“Session Created HERE”).printStackTrace() ) in the session constructor to see why and where they are being created. If you examine the component you should be able to see what needs to be changed. If you are mailing out component actions, the recipients are not going to be able to use them.

For a bunch of fetched EO’s, their global ID’s are passed to a method that uses ERMailUtils.instantiatePage to create an instance of the component for each EO. This all happens outside of userland.
