we have now stripped out all expression code ( ${this.value} etc ) and
our template now contains basic html format with the word 'test' between
the body tags.
i can now get the mail test facility to email us using the new template.
the workflow still doesnt send any emails and we have no errors in the
logs.
i would imagine the workflow would email all people in the group publisher
when the workflow code is as follows:
<set field="mailTo" value="group-publisher"/>
<set field="mailTemplate" value="simonsMail"/>
<participant ref="command-sendMail"/>
i have myself down in the publisher group with a valid email address
this is our current workflow:
<process-definition name="activation" revision="j0.0.2">
<sequence>
<set field="activator" field-value="userName"/>
<!-- go to publisher first -->
<participant ref="group-publisher"/>
<!-- will loop if rejected -->
<if test="${field:action} == reject">
<revision-round/>
</if>
<log message="activate: ${field:action}"/>
<!-- if the last action was proceed: activate-->
<if test="${field:action} == proceed">
<activate/>
</if>
</sequence>
<process-definition name="revision-round">
<loop>
<while test="${field:action} == reject"/>
<to-editor/>
<if test="${field:action} != proceed">
<break/>
</if>
<to-publisher/>
</loop>
</process-definition>
<process-definition name="to-publisher">
<sequence>
<set field="mailTo" value="group-publisher"/>
<set field="mailTemplate" value="simonsMail"/>
<participant ref="command-sendMail"/>
<participant ref="group-publisher"/>
</sequence>
</process-definition>
<process-definition name="to-editor">
<sequence>
<!-- assign back to the user who launched the activation -->
<set field="assignTo" field-value="activator"/>
<set field="mailTo" value="group-editor"/>
<set field="mailTemplate" value="simonsMail"/>
<participant ref="command-sendMail"/>
<participant ref="group-editor"/>
</sequence>
</process-definition>
<process-definition name="activate">
<sequence>
<!-- wait if scheduled -->
<if>
<defined field-value="startDate"/>
<sleep until="${f:startDate}"/>
</if>
<!-- activate -->
<participant ref="command-activate"/>
<if>
<defined field-value="exception"/>
<!-- restart again -->
<activation/>
<break/>
</if>
<!-- deactivate (if scheduled)-->
<if>
<defined field-value="endDate"/>
<sequence>
<sleep until="${f:endDate}"/>
<participant ref="command-deactivate"/>
</sequence>
</if>
</sequence>
</process-definition>
</process-definition>
apologies if im sounding stressed but obviously deadlines are getting
shorter and we are new to the whole java scenario :(

Liam,
your issue has nothing to do with the workflow. It's your mail
template which is not digested by the mail template engine, please
read the error message carefully and please follow Harold's advice,
he's been very helpful.
Try with a very simple mail pattern and then iteratively add bells and
whistles to it. Read carefully the error message they do mean
something and they are meant to be read by human beings.
Best regards,
--
