    Sending HTML Mails fails...

      Hello,


      I'm struggling to send an email in HTML. All I receive is a flat file, which is free of all html-tags (read: formattings) :-(


      Basically I'm using the standard example, and I don't see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe someone else does?


      Many thanks,
      Jan

          What i should have pointed out is that the second snipped is from the source-view in my mail-client (outlook 2007). the mail itself is rendered without any linebreaks...

            allright, I found the solution. wonder if it's a bug or a feature.


            when is test mail sending through testNG (1), all html will be ignored. when I test through the regular web-frontend (2), the mail gets sent and the html is in the mail-source.


            furthermore i need some server parameters from the HttpServletRequest. i discovered that 


            HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.
getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();




            returns null in (1) and the valid request in (2).


            My test are created like this:


                      return new FacesRequest(viewId, cid) {

               @Override
               protected void updateModelValues() throws Exception {
                    setValue("#{customer.user.gender}", USER_GENDER);
                    setValue("#{customer.user.firstName}", USER_FIRSTNAME);
                    setValue("#{customer.user.lastName}", USER_LASTNAME);
                    setValue("#{customer.user.loginName}", USER_LOGINNAME);
                    setValue("#{customer.user.password}", USER_PASSWORD);
                    setValue("#{registrationController.passwordVerify}", USER_PASSWORD);
                    setValue("#{registrationController.agbConfirm}", USER_AGB);

                    assert isLongRunningConversation();
               }

               /*
                * Schreiben der Werte in die DB
                */
               @Override
               protected void invokeApplication() throws Exception {
                    invokeAction("#{registrationController.registerCustomer}");
               }
          };



            where registerController.registerCustomer will send the mail.


            bug or feature?

              Sending mail through SeamTest isn't supported.
