How to use template to make Email notification

[linuxapple]

Hi All,

I am new to Alfresco.

In javascript api, http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API  I find this email template configuration:

mail.parameters.template = root.childByNamePath("Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/notify_user_email.ftl");‍

I set the submit_processdefinition.xml according to the api, but template still didn't work. the path of notify_user_email.ftl is /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/email. I paste the log here:

I think it's because the template could not be found, I am sure I have notify_user_email.ftl under Email Templates. but i don't know what I should do.
I am using: linux fedora and Alfresco 2.1.0.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Have you tried adding content into Data Dictionary/Email Templates directly through Alfresco Webclient. It should pick it up from there!
