I am using java mail api to send emails in my application.The email is getting sent properly.But I am struggling with the content where I have a jsp page that includes 2 other jsp pages(header and footer).How to send this jsp page as the content.Currently I am using the following way to set the content of the email
Certainly this is extremely tedious.Is there a way out?I am calling the content setter method (for the email) from an action class in Struts 2

Hi,

I think the way in which you are proceeding is correct for sending the mail content.
I am not sure whether there is a way of sending jsp page content.
Even I had used StringBuilder instead StringBuffer to prepare HTML content and send it across via mail.

Thanks,

You might want to examine the following classes:
- javax.activation.URLDataSource class.
- javax.activation.DataHandler

Construct a DataHandler passing it the URL to include as the message part.
Hand the dataHandler off to your message - it should visit the URL you provided, and include it as the body of your email.

I am going to test your electrical conductivity with this tiny ad:
