Java Forum / General / October 2007Send Email with Form information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a Form with 10 fields on it and I need to send an email with all 10 field values. The form will pass the values to a Servlet which will call a JavaBean class that will get the values and the email (JavaMail located in an email helper class) part will be called in the Servelt to send the JavaBean values. I assume I will also have to use the getMetaData method to get the field names? I dont have Struts or Sprint on my Tomcat 4.1.27 container. Is this the right direction where the Email output will be similiar to this: First Name: Joe Last Name: Smith City: Dallas State: Texas ....

I think you will have better luck putting the URL of a form in your email. That way you don't need to depend on the email program to render it and send the data, something I suspect most email programs would be reluctant to do.

Either you or I misinterpreted what the OP wanted. I understood him wanting to have a web page with a form, that when he submitted it, an e-mail was generated from the values in the form. I didn't reply earlier, because I didn't feel like explaining the processes of form submission, and how to retrieve the query args from the request object, and then also connect to the JavaMail API to send e-mail. Hopefully, they can look into the JavaMail API themselves, and figure out what they want to do. SignatureDaniel Pitts' Tech Blog: <http://virtualinfinity.net/wordpress/> Thanks, I am sending form info to people using JavaMail API. I wanted to use getParameterMap() and Enumeration but it seems to randomly place the values in micleaneous order: First Name: Joe Last Name: Smith City: Dallas State: Texas ends up looking like this sometimes: City: Dallas First Name: Joe State: Texas Last Name: Smith > Thanks, I am sending form info to people using JavaMail API. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > State: Texas > Last Name: Smith Form submission doesn't guaranty order of form elements. Neither does the Map interface. If you know before hand what the value are, then you can do something like this: private static final List<String> keys = Arrays.asList("First Name", "Last Name", "City", "State"); public void printValues(Map<String, String> map) { for (String key: keys) { System.out.println(key + ": " + map.get(key)); } } HTH.

There is no method in java.util.Map to return an Enumeration.

I thought he wanted to send somebody an email with an embedded form. The user would enter data and it would be sent to a server. For email generated from values in a form, see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javamail.html SignatureRoedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com On Oct 23, 7:38 pm, "tes...@hotmail.com" <tes...@hotmail.com> wrote: > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > I have a Form with 10 fields on it and I need to send an email with [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > State: Texas > .... You would not need to use reflection to get the field names (not sure where the getMetaData API is coming from). In the servlet, you can parse the request parameters by calling getParameterMap() on the request. This will give you a map with key as the parameter name (the name that you give in the form as <input type="text" name="somename">), and the value is a String[]. Unless you have checkboxes in the form, you should only worry about [0]. You can then construct the email text by using parameter name and the value(s). -cheers, Manish Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
