Seam Email and JSTL Functions

[sradford]

Does the message template feature of Seam Email support custom functions?

I can't see why it shouldn't but in my case it cannot find my function:

I do have my tag library file defined for the message template and it all works elsewhere in 'standard' views.

Any ideas?

Thanks and regards,

How do you define your functions - if you put them in a separate jar (with faces-config + taglib) it should be ok i think.

[sradford]

The function class is in my ejb-jar with my taglib in WEB-INF. As said, all is working fine for normal page rendering, but not for mail rendering. Doubt it is the location of the class file - I could try and put it under WEB-INF/classes I guess...

Cheers,

Sean

Have you tried packaging it as a separate jar (with META-INF/faces-config.xml + META-INF/your.taglib.xml) and packaging that in your .war WEB-INF/lib?
