TemplateEmailInfoImpl

public abstract class TemplateEmailInfo
extends java.lang.Object

An abstract class representing an object which contains all the information pertaining to a particular piece of email to be sent out, and uses that information to create and fill in the corresponding javax.mail.Message objects. The email content is based on a jhtml template, specified via the templateURL property, which can be instantiated for different user profiles.

Template email can be used to produce email messages which are personalized for different profiles. For example, the jhtml template might read:

 Dear <valueof bean="/atg/userprofiling/Profile.firstName">Customer</valueof>, 
 you've been spammed by us because...
 

When instantiated, the template will yield different message text depending on the attributes of the recipient's profile. In addition, the contents of the message can be personalized as well: if the template page contains a targeting droplet, the droplet behaves just as it would in a regular jhtml page, displaying content targeted to the current profile.

The actual rendering of the jhtml template is performed by the TemplateEmailSender service.

Note: if your template jhtml page contains links to other URLs on your site, you must specify them as absolute URLs in order for the email recipients to be able to access the linked pages. Please use the full http://server:port/... form of the URL, e.g. <img src="http://myserver:80/images/logo.gif> rather than <img src="images/logo.gif> and <a href="http://myserver:80/help/index.html>help</a> rather than <a href="help/index.html>help</a>.
