Send HTML template emails without using Spring

I have a web application which has been build only using java-servlets. No spring is used. The front-end is developed using HTML and Javascript. I want to send email from the application. I have the HTML files for the emails. But there are two or three parameters that should be changed in the HTML using variables. Is there any best way to accomplish this without using Spring

I have seen this piece of code if you use Spring

       MimeMessagePreparator preparator = new MimeMessagePreparator() {
             public void prepare(MimeMessage mimeMessage) throws Exception {
                MimeMessageHelper message = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage,true,"UTF-8");
                message.setTo(to);
                message.setFrom(from);
                message.setSubject(subject);
                String text = VelocityEngineUtils.mergeTemplateIntoString(velocityEngine, template, model);
                message.setText(text, true);
             }
         };
         mailSender.send(preparator);

org.springframework.mail.javamail.MimeMessagePreparator

String org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineUtils.mergeTemplateIntoString(VelocityEngine velocityEngine, String templateLocation, Map model) throws VelocityException

HTML template is the matter with Velocity, not related to Spring. Spring helps to simplify sending Email coding, but if you are using HTML template for Email, it should be template framework, like Velocity, FreeMark

One solution is to use a templating library like Thymeleaf.

Thymeleaf allows you to write HTML in which you provide Thymeleaf specific attributes and placeholders. When it processes the HTML, Thymeleaf renders the HTML by giving a value to those placeholders and generating the correct HTML.
