That's what I was saying in my messages about JSP and mail.
This has hardly anything to do with JSP (I'm not saying it's a bad solution,
it's just not real JSP) This is just plain servlets and HTML.
Let me explain what I expect from a JSP - mail solution.
The problem isn't the sending of the mail itself, there are lots of beans
available to do that. After all, the SMTP protocol isn't that complicated,
you could easily create this yourself.
There are 2 solutions from Sun: one in the sun... packages and javamail. So
I think you have plenty of choice in components to send a mail message.
The real problem is that in most cases you want to create dynamic messages.
Of course it's possible to use code like:
mailBody.print("Hello ");
mailBody.print( lastName );
mailBody.print(" ");
mailBody.print( firstName );
mailBody.println(",");
mailBody.print( "I'd like to tell you about ..." );
The only thing is that JSP was invented to get rid of all those print
statements. Otherwise we could just as well use plain servlets.
So what I want is a possibility to create my mailmessage with code like
Hello, <%=lastName%> <%=firstName%>,
I'd like....
With the servlet I showed a few days ago, this is possible. You just create
a JSP that creates the body of a mail message and the servlet makes a
URLConnection to that page to read it and send it to it's destination.
