Send email with attachment via EmailService failes

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I'm trying to send an email with an attachment through the EmailService, unfortunatelly it fails everytime if I add the attachment...

My Code snippet:

    final CatalogVersionModel catalog = catalogVersionService.getCatalogVersion(CATALOGNAME, CATALOGVERSION);
 
     final EmailAddressModel addrToModel = new EmailAddressModel();
     addrToModel.setDisplayName(EMAILTO);
     addrToModel.setEmailAddress(EMAILTO);
 
     final EmailAddressModel addrFromModel = new EmailAddressModel();
     addrFromModel.setDisplayName(EMAILFROM);
     addrFromModel.setEmailAddress(EMAILFROM);
 
 
     EmailAttachmentModel mediaModel = new EmailAttachmentModel();
     mediaModel.setCode(filename);
     mediaModel.setCatalogVersion(catalog);
     mediaModel.setRemovable(Boolean.TRUE);
     mediaModel.setLocation(filename);
     modelService.save(mediaModel);
 
     final EmailMessageModel msgModel = new EmailMessageModel();
     msgModel.setToAddresses(Collections.singletonList(addrToModel));
     msgModel.setFromAddress(addrFromModel);
     msgModel.setSubject("Test Report");
     msgModel.setBody("blabalbla");
     msgModel.setReplyToAddress("noreply@test.ch");
 
     msgModel.setAttachments(Collections.singletonList(mediaModel));
 
     emailService.send(msgModel);

Is there a special think to know about attachment with the EmailService? Without the attachment the service is working...

Does anybody know how to deal with attachments?

Many Thanks!

Hi, May I know what service you are using? cuz I want to send email with attachment either, however I'm using YaaS Email service which does not support attachment sending

Hello everybody,

thank you for your replies, I finally found a solution which is working for me.

I saw that the EmailService has a method calls "createEmailAttachment", which is creating an EmailAttachment... the code inside this method looks like that:

 @Override
 public EmailAttachmentModel createEmailAttachment(final DataInputStream masterDataStream, final String filename,
         final String mimeType)
 {
     final EmailAttachmentModel attachment = getModelService().create(EmailAttachmentModel.class);
     attachment.setCode(filename);
     attachment.setMime(mimeType);
     attachment.setRealFileName(filename);
     attachment.setCatalogVersion(getCatalogVersion());
     getModelService().save(attachment);

     getMediaService().setStreamForMedia(attachment, masterDataStream, filename, mimeType, getEmailAttachmentsMediaFolder());
     return attachment;
 }

If you want to use this method it's important set the right Catalogversion before...

Hi Dominik, Can you tell me which catalog version are you using? In my case I called createEmalAttachment(with expected parameters) method but attachment is not coming in email. It works without attachment. Can you suggest anything else I have to do?

Hi Dominik,

How can we set Catalogversion to use this emailAttachmentModel?

Hi ,

I have one clarification here. the above piece of code is fine for me but can we pass the InputStream directly from MultiPartFile .

I mean without creating media model.

Hi Dominic,

Try to override DefaultEmailGenerationService: method generate. Then create your attachment and add it to your emailMessageModel. You should have the mediaModel in DataBase. I hope this will help you.

 private void constructAttachments(final EmailMessageModel emailMessageModel,
                                                          final MediaModel file,
                                                          ) {
         final EmailAttachmentModel attachment = getModelService().create(EmailAttachmentModel.class);
         attachment.setCode(emailMessageModel.getPk().toString());
         attachment.setMime(file.getMime());
         attachment.setRealFileName(file.getRealFileName());
         attachment.setCatalogVersion(file.getCatalogVersion());
         attachment.setLocation(file.getLocation());
         attachment.setSize(file.getSize());
         getModelService().save(attachment);
         final List<EmailAttachmentModel> attachements = new ArrayList<>();
         attachements.add(attachment);
         emailMessageModel.setAttachments(attachements);

I think you need to set a mediamodel that you loaded so that it contains the PK reference to the instance.

So you need to save it and then load it and add that to the email.
