If you are looking for a simple way to create and send an email from your application, have a look at saxon-extensions project http://code.google.com/p/saxon-extensions/wiki/EmailEmitter Email Emitter is not yet another email templating solution. It allows you to completely separate email generation and dispatching from your code. It is based on widely used XSL language and very verbose. Template allows you to control entire message including all headers and parts. I will answer any of your questions on Email Emitter users forum http://groups.google.com/group/saxon-extensions-user View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4223371#...
