Html table in email notification

Question

Hi,
I have a complex type variable in my payload. This complex type has 2 columns. Hold Name and Hold Reason. There can be multiple Hold Names and Hold reasons. Hence i want to show this in a tabular format in the email activity in BPEL. Can someone help me on this.
Eg: <holds>
<holditem>
<name>INV_PO </name>
<reason> Invalid PO </reason>
</holditem>
<holditem>
<name>INV_PO_LINE </name>
<reason> Invalid PO Line </reason>
</holditem>
</holds>
Email Template should look like:
Holds:
INV_PO Invalid PO
INV_PO_LINE Invalid PO Line
Thanks,
Lakshmi.

Answer 1

I managed to do this using assign activities in a BPEL You can get tags using &lt; and this method works when emailing outlook.
I used strings and a BPEL loop to build up rows into a table.
The assigns ended up looking like:
<copy>
<from>string('&lt;table border=1&gt;&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Error Log ID&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Creation Date&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Component&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Composite&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Integration Name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Message Identifier&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Other Data&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Error Message&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Dump&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/TR&gt;')</from>
<to>$ErrorTable</to>
</copy>
This dosen't show here properley I used & l t ; and & g t ; (without spaces inbetween)
