Hi all, In this Tutorial, i will be talking about template based Email using spring boot application.

To implement Email Functionality with spring boot We require below dependencies .

  1. FreeMarker (As we are going to use FreeMarker template for our Email Html and content)
  2. JavaMail Api(Api for sending java mails).

Whole source code can be found on my github repository

Lets first define and create Models, controller and other classes which we require to send email.

  1. EMail.java , A simple Pojo for having To,From,model and content to send mail.
  2. MailSender.java , A Service to send email
  3. emailtemplate.flth

First thing we have to define dependency of javamail, which we can do in spring boot using spring-boot-starter-mail. it defines all required dependencies for mail.

in pom.xml

<!-- send email -->         
<dependency>…
