MimeMessagePreparator mimeMessagePreparator=new MimeMessagePreparator() {

@Override
public void prepare(MimeMessage mimeMessage) throws Exception {

MimeMessageHelper mimeMessageHelper=new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage);
                    mimeMessageHelper.setTo(requestQuotationPojo.getEmailId().toString());
                    mimeMessageHelper.setFrom("vikasglobaljapan@gmail.com");
                    mimeMessageHelper.setText("Your Request Quotation Number"+requestQuotationPojo.getRfqId());
                    mimeMessageHelper.setSubject("Request Quotation Details");
    VelocityContext velocityContext = new VelocityContext();

    requestQuotationPojo.setImage(new StringBuffer(application_url.concat(requestQuotationPojo.getImage().toString())));
    requestQuotationPojo.setRfqId(new StringBuffer(rfqId));

    velocityContext.put("image", requestQuotationPojo.getImage());
    velocityContext.put("rfqDetails", requestQuotationPojo);
                    velocityContext.put("image",application_url.concat(requestQuotationPojo.getImage().toString()));

   StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
   velocityEngine.mergeTemplate("com/gjcp/dao/daoImpl/customer/templateName.vm", "UTF-8", velocityContext, stringWriter);
                    mimeMessageHelper.setText(stringWriter.toString(), true);
                }

Solution

    • I suppose that your image is a byte array. So you should add image to velocity context as base64 string.

      velocityContext.put("image", Base64.encode(requestQuotationPojo.getImage()));

    • And use this img tag in your template file.

      <img src="data:image/jpg;base64,${image}" border="0" width="50" height="50"/>
