Creation of Image from HTML string in Action Class for sending email as Image.

[mark watson]

Hi,

Task: Send an Image as email, Image needs to derived from the HTML String in the Action Class.

Ex: HTML String is

<font  size=2  10pt;font-family:Arial; right: auto;  \"><strong>***Note: "+note+"***</strong></font> <br />
	   <img   /> <br />
	   <font size=2  10pt;font-family:Arial; right: auto;  \"><strong> Subject: "+subject+"</strong></font> <br />
	   <font size=2  10pt;font-family:Arial; right: auto;  \">"+message+"</font> <br />
	   "<strong>© Test footer </strong>
[\CODE]

I need to convert above HTML content in Action class as Image and I need to send as an email.

Things I have tried: 

http://www.coderanch.com/t/345582/GUI/java/rendering-html-image
and different others, I am loosing the fomatting of the text that was done by users.

Example formatting done by the users: the below is for [b]message[/b] of the HTML String
[CODE]
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Sample Text 1</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Sample Text 2 </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Sample Text 3</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Sample Text 4</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Please direct questions or comments to Admin.</span></p>

If anybody has any tool that is best fit to do this kind of functionality please let me know or if you have any other solutions.

Thanks,
Mark

Given that the HTML in your first example is poorly-formed, I'd suspect that's the cause of your problems.
If the HTML is well-formed, have a look at this example from our FAQ.
