Problem in Spring Email + ResourceBundle use in velocity template

**lv99782** · Sep 24th, 2009, 04:53 AM

Hello,

Hope someone can help me on this.

I'm using Struts2 + Spring (and Spring Email + Velocity)
I follow this example http://static.springsource.org/sprin...ence/mail.html
and I'm trying to make the email template be i18N.

I'm searching hard in google but only find limited information, here is what I did

In my spring application.xml

Code:

<bean id="velocityEngine" class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean">
		<property name="velocityProperties">
			<value>
				resource.loader=class
				class.resource.loader.class=org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader
			</value>
		</property>
</bean> 
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver">
        <property name="exposeSpringMacroHelpers"><value>true</value></property>
</bean> 
<bean id="messageSource" 
		class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
		<property name="basenames">
			<list>
				<value>resources.global-messages</value>				
			</list>
		</property>
</bean>

global-message.properties file is put under my WEB-INF/classes/resources directory.

This is part of the email template

Code:

<html>
<body>
<h1>#springMessage("label.welcome")</h1>

I'm not sure this is correct way or not, but it is not getting the message from properties file.

Could anyone please give me some light on this?

Thanks
LV

The I18N only works for web pages not email templates.

Ok, finally I solve my problem by passing whole resource and local object to velocity.

In my email service class, I did this:

Code:

Map model = new HashMap();
model.put("user", user);
model.put("resources",this.resource);
model.put("locale", this.locale);
String text = VelocityEngineUtils.mergeTemplateIntoString(
	               velocityEngine, "email.html", model);

....

public void setResource(ResourceBundleMessageSource resource){
		this.resource = resource;
}

In the email template :

Code:

<html>
<body>
<h1>#msg("label.welcome")</h1>

In macro.vm

Code:

#macro(msg $code)
$resources.getMessage($code,null,$locale)
#end

spring config:

Code:

<bean id="velocityEngine" class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean">
		<property name="velocityProperties">
	        <props>
	            <prop key="resource.loader">class</prop>
	            <prop key="class.resource.loader.class">
	                org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader
	            </prop>
 
	            <prop key="velocimacro.library">velocity/macro.vm</prop>	            
	        </props>
    </property>
