Configuration for using the E-mail Velocity adapter¶

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

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

• Configuring VelocityEngine with Java code is easier than component configuration file.
• init method is required to be called after configuring VelocityEngine.

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

package com.example;

import org.apache.velocity.app.VelocityEngine;
import org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader;

import nablarch.core.repository.di.ComponentFactory;

public class VelocityEngineFactory implements ComponentFactory<VelocityEngine> {

    @Override
    public VelocityEngine createObject() {
        VelocityEngine velocityEngine = new VelocityEngine();

        velocityEngine.setProperty("resource.loader", "classloader");
        velocityEngine.setProperty("classloader.resource.loader.class",
                ClasspathResourceLoader.class.getName());

        // Other configurations are made to VelocityEngine as needed

        velocityEngine.init();

        return velocityEngine;
    }
}

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

<component name="templateEngineMailProcessor"
           class="nablarch.integration.mail.velocity.VelocityMailProcessor" autowireType="None">
  <property name="velocityEngine">
    <component class="com.example.VelocityEngineFactory"/>
  </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 Velocity, the subject and body are described in one template.

In standard e-mail process using Velocity, 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 $title$option
---
$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 VelocityEngine configuration. For example, since the template file is loaded from the class path in the configuration example shown in the previous section, place the template file in a directory of the class path.

Register an e-mail send request¶

Just to register the send request of the standard e-mail. See Register an email send request.
