Question

My web app sends “forgot password” and other emails. I’d like to have email body template somewhere in a file, so that each customer can change the way the “forgot password” email looks.

For example:

Dear App Name user,
Your new password is: %password%

Your App Name Team.

I understand that the message body can go into a file, but how do I replace %password% from my Java code?

Any other ideas how this should be done?

Answer 1

You can use:

String template="Dear App Name user,\nYour new password is: %s \n\nYour App Name Team."

String email=String.format(template,password);

Basically, you can use %s as a placeholder which will be filled with the password by String.format
