help with email & EL in @Asynchronous method
Hi,
I have an asynchronous handler that searches a db table and sends email. That part is working great, however I want to pass some of that info into the rendered email via seam EL. The db query works, the player.firstName info is correct I just can't get it transferred into the rendered text of the email. I know that the info has to be in the seam context so I tried to outject it without any joy. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
thanks
