Hi,

Can anyone help me out in this usecase where attachments are sent as email in aem. I am stuck at a point on how to pass file from jquery ajax to servlet and then passing it as parameter to emailService.

Hi,

what you can try to do is to encode your file in base64 and then send it as a string parameter into your servlet.

Inside your servlet you just need to use some snippet like the following:

Base64.getDecoder().decode(fileBase64)

In order to get the file and decode it into your serlvet.

Let me know if this could be helpful.

Thanks,

Antonio

In jquery you can pass the file path and read file in Servlet and convert in InputStream and use inside your map

File file = new File(filePath);

InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);

ByteArrayDataSource(InputStream is, String type)

Email

Email API

String attachment1 = "This text should be in the attache txt file.";
  Map<String, DataSource> attachments = new HashMap<>();
  attachments.put("attachment1.txt", new ByteArrayDataSource(attachment1, "text/plain"));
