Hi,
I have the following problem:
I've used Velocity to create email templates.In one of these templates i've text + image(inline) content.In the received email the text is visible but the image is not.I guess there is some issue with the path to the image file,but couldn't figure it out.My .vm file look something like this:

registration-confirmation.vm

Also following is addtional information :
EmailCompo is the name of my application

image file location is :EmailTest/src/com/mcs/mailer/img123.jpg

vm file location : EmailTest/src/com/mcs/mailer/reg-con.vm

Cheers,
Poonam

If the image is in your servlet context path try this

add this logoImage to your map object which you pass to velocity template.

In template use ${logoImage}

Hi Mukhi,
Its not a web application so i will not be able to use ServletContext

.I 've tried almost all options for the path of the image file but none worked

. The html text content is visible but the image is not...

Thanks,
Poonam

Hi,
Will
VelocityEngineUtils.mergeTemplateIntoString(velocityEngine, "com/mcs/mailer/registration-confirmation.vm", model) work if the vm file contains an image.

Thanks,
Poonam .

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
