Replacing HTML parameters with Java
Posted on 2011-03-06
Hi,
As a part of our department requirements, we need to send out HTML emails that are predefined.
These templates are stored in a table.
Please consider the below case
<HTML>
<TR>
<TD>
#NAME#
</TD>
</TR>
</HTML>
Value for the tag #NAME# needs to be picked up from the database and the HTML template populated accordingly.
Could you please advise, on how this can be achieved with Java ? Any sample code would be highly appreciated.
I have the code ready to send out emails. Only worry is to populate the HTML templates with the values form the database.
Regards

You can use JSTL to achieve this .....
you set the value in java and get the values in Java like
request.setParameter("name
in JSP
<HTML>
<TR>
<TD>
${name}
</TD>
</TR>
</HTML>

Hi All,
The example I provided was just a sample. In our case the HTML templates are quite large. These are infact some newsletters. that we need to send out to customers periodically.
The java code needs to call the templates(stored as a column in a database table) and then needs to replace the tags with the appropriate value (again picked up from different tables). Then the HTML needs to be emailed.

Then what you need to do in Java is read in the text from the file which has the email HTML text.
Get the replacement values from the database.
Replace the "#name#" text strings in the HTML email text with the values from the database.
Which parts do you not know how to do in Java?

Thanks mrcoffee365.
You have provided me a simple solution that will serve my purpose.
I can do the coding for that. Now once I replace all the tags with the values from the database, how can I provide the output HTML to the users ?
Thanks and regards

You can send mail using JavaMail. You'll need the list of user email addresses and it would be best to send from a legitimate mail server, probably your department server.
You can get javamail from
