I have a task to send an email containing an HTML image to recipients without using the internet (SMTP is okay). I need to do this in informatica BDM using a Java transformation. I have the code working with a hyperlink reference to the image but when I try to locally access the picture via absolute path, the image is not added (seems to be an Informatica issue).
My question is: if I use the hyperlink to point to the image will my server try to add the picture before sending the email, or will the picture be rendered by the clients machine when they receive the email containing HTML?
Here is what my code looks like
emailDescription = emailDescription + "<center><img \" src=\""+ path + "\" alt=\"Logo\" align=\"middle\" title=\"Logo\"></center><br>";
where path is just a variable containing a link to the image
