The Email Template File

Templates are stored in a single Java properties file called email.properties located in the com.flexnet.delivery.i18n package in delivery-ejb.jar. delivery-ejb.jar is embedded in the delivery-admin.ear file located in the following directory:

<Install Dir>\JBoss\server\publisher\deploy

File Structure

The properties file contains specific key\ value pairs that that correspond to sections in the emails. A number of the values have parameter place holders that allow the insertion of relevant information such as customer name, company log etc. The parameters are denoted by {n}. Where n is a 0 based parameter number. The following is a snippet of a key\value pair used in the FLEXNet Delivery email template. Note: the value text is shortened for brevity.

assignProducts.body=<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"\
