how to capture html

[Brian K. Buckley]

Is there a good way to capture the output from a snippet of jsp into a
String variable that can be reused multiple times in a page?

- Brian

As a simple example, if one needed to have the line:

Name

appear in several places, how can one set a String namerow so that the line
can be redisplayed by saying <%=namerow%> instead of repeating the whole
snippet?  Note that the snippet includes a custom tag.

You might want to try this one on the JSP list. The archives are also
quite extensive.

Not really. The only way I know, is to enclose the snippet into a method
with a variable called "out". HTML in JSP will be translated into

out.print("");

<%
BodyContent bc = pageContext.pushBody();
%>
Name
<%
String namerow = bc.getString();
pageContext.popBody();
%>
