An example integration for OTH Regensburg's software development course (see https://github.com/michaelneu/gorillamail)

howto.java

// step 1: create your mail
final Mail mail = new Mail();

// step 2: add your credentials
final User user = new User();
user.setEmail("[email protected]");
user.setPassword("p4ssword!");

// step 3: set your template
final Template template = new Template();
template.setId(42); // copy this id from your dashboard
mail.setTemplate(template);

// step 4: set your mail's receipient
final Header toHeader = new Header();
toHeader.setName("to");
toHeader.setValue("[email protected]");
mail.getHeaders().add(toHeader);

/// step 5: set your mail's subject
final Header subjectHeader = new Header();
subjectHeader.setName("subject");
subjectHeader.setValue("Your weekly sports update");
mail.getHeaders().add(subjectHeader);

// step 6: if you used variables in your template (like
//         "Hi {{firstName}}"), you can define them here
final Variable var = new Variable();
var.setName("firstName");
var.setValue("Bob");
mail.getVariables().add(var);

// optional: if you don't want to pay for your mail,
//           allow gorillamail to insert an ad
mail.setAd(true);

// hit send
try {
    mailService.sendMail(user, mail);
} catch (MailException_Exception exception) {
    // handle exception (in case something went wrong on our side)
}
