How do you send an email using a template with AWS SES Java SDK sesv2-CodePudding

I'm trying to send an email using a template with the AWS Java SDK v2 2.17.235. I have created the template and read at least 2 dozen pages of documentation at this point. 6 hours in I have not been able to find a single example or a shred of anything helpful in regards to this check the documentation several times read every article.

I can send other emails just fine but I want to use templating moving forward. Again, I've created the template, I can get the template, etc. None of that is helpful, I need to use a template that I've created to send an email. Here's what my code looks like

        try (
            SesV2Client client = SesV2Client.builder()
                    .region(Region.US_EAST_1)
                    .build()) {
        

        Template template = Template.builder().templateName("SiteUpdateTemplate").templateData(TEMPLATE_DATA).build();

        EmailContent emailContent = EmailContent.builder().template(Template.builder().templateName("SiteUpdateTemplate").templateData(TEMPLATE_DATA).build()).build();
        GetEmailTemplateRequest getEmailTemplateRequest = GetEmailTemplateRequest.builder().templateName("SiteUpdateTemplate").build();
        GetEmailTemplateResponse getEmailTemplateResponse = client.getEmailTemplate(getEmailTemplateRequest);


        SendEmailRequest request = SendEmailRequest.builder()
                .configurationSetName(CONFIGSET)
                .fromEmailAddress(FROM)
                .listManagementOptions(ListManagementOptions.builder().contactListName(CONTACT_LIST).topicName(TOPIC_SITE_UPDATES).build())
                .fromEmailAddressIdentityArn(IDENTITYARN)
                .feedbackForwardingEmailAddress(FROM)
                .feedbackForwardingEmailAddressIdentityArn(IDENTITYARN)
                .destination(Destination.builder().toAddresses("[email protected]").build())
//

                .content(emailContent)

Is anyone able to give me an example or point to somewhere that has the information I need?

EDIT

To me it seems like the only way this would work is if I could somehow get the ARN of the template only theres no way to get the ARN of the template that I'm aware of.

EDIT 2

I need to be more specific so I'm adding some additional details. I think that I may have jumped ahead to an incorrect conclusion based on what I was seeing. When I send the email using the template I

Do no get any errors (From my end it appears to send... I guess?)
The "Emails Sent" goes up by the amount I sent in the AWS Console. So by that metric I guess it did technically send or at least it tried to?
I have bounce/complaints setup with the SQS/SNS stack that remains empty after the email has been sent.

I honestly don't even know what to do at this point. No failures, the emails are never received and my sent emails go up by the amount I send in the AWS console. I have not received a single one of these 57 emails

Here is your solution. First create a template by following this topic in the SES DEV Guide:

Here is your Java V2 code that uses this template to send an email. Notice that you only have to reference the template name when you create a Template object.

UPDATE

WHen sending an email with a template - you must specify all variables you use in the template. The example template you create in the SES DEV Guide uses 2 variables:

{
  "Template": {
    "TemplateName": "MyTemplate",
    "SubjectPart": "Greetings, {{name}}!",
    "HtmlPart": "<h1>Hello {{name}},</h1><p>Your favorite animal is {{favoriteanimal}}.</p>",
    "TextPart": "Dear {{name}},\r\nYour favorite animal is {{favoriteanimal}}."
  }
}

This means you need to specify both name and favoriteanimal in your code when defining the Template object. If you DO NOT specify all variables in the template - SES does not send the email, as discussed here.
