Configuration for using the E-mail FreeMarker adapter¶

To use this adapter, configure FreeMarkerMailProcessor to MailRequester in the component configuration file.

Configuration provided by FreeMarker has to be configured in FreeMarkerMailProcessor. For Configuration, it is recommended that the component configuration be performed by creating an implementation class of ComponentFactory for the following reasons.

• Default constructor is deprecated for Configuration
• Configuring with Java code is easier than component configuration file for Configuration

An example of ComponentFactory implementation class that creates Configuration is shown below.

package com.example;

import freemarker.template.Configuration;
import nablarch.core.repository.di.ComponentFactory;

public class ConfigurationFactory implements ComponentFactory<Configuration> {

    private String basePackagePath;
    private String encoding;

    @Override
    public Configuration createObject() {
        Configuration cfg = new Configuration(Configuration.getVersion());
        ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
        cfg.setClassLoaderForTemplateLoading(classLoader, basePackagePath);
        cfg.setDefaultEncoding(encoding);
        // Other configurations are made to Configuration as needed
        return cfg;
    }

    public void setBasePackagePath(String basePackagePath) {
        this.basePackagePath = basePackagePath;
    }

    public void setEncoding(String encoding) {
        this.encoding = encoding;
    }
}

The setting example of the component configuration file that uses the ConfigurationFactory is shown below.

<component name="templateEngineMailProcessor"
           class="nablarch.integration.mail.freemarker.FreeMarkerMailProcessor" autowireType="None">
  <property name="configuration">
    <component class="com.example.ConfigurationFactory">
      <property name="basePackagePath" value="com/example/template/"/>
      <property name="encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
    </component>
  </property>
</component>

<!-- E-mail send request API -->
<component name="mailRequester" class="nablarch.common.mail.MailRequester">
  <property name="templateEngineMailProcessor" ref="templateEngineMailProcessor"/>
  <!-- Other settings are omitted -->
</component>

Create an e-mail template¶

In standard e-mail process using FreeMarker, the subject and body are described in one template.

The subject and body are separated by lines called delimiters. The default delimiter is --- (three single-byte hyphens).

An example of the template is shown below.

${option}regarding ${title}
---
${title} has been submitted with application number ${requestId}.
${Approver} should approve ${title} promptly. ${option}

For more details on subject and body split rules, see TemplateEngineProcessedResult#valueOf .

Where to place the template file depends on the Configuration settings. For example, in the configuration example shown in the previous section, the template file is loaded from the class path. Since com/example/template/ is configured in basePackagePath , template files will be placed in the com/example/template/ directory of the class path.
