Could we have a helper method/service here as well? Not just for JSPs but for
java code as well.
It's a common question that people want to render a request result into a
string (or simply get the stream; internally a bytearrayoutputstream probably),
and the answer "yes, you can do that, just build your own dummy
request/response wrappers and place your own outputstream in there" is a bit
difficult.
Two recent examples that could make use of that in Sling:
- Bertrand's health check which does script execution:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/contrib/extensions/healthcheck/hc-sling/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/hc/sling/impl/HttpResponse.java
(see javadoc)
- web resources (from SLING-2805) that allow for compilers to be written as
sling script engines (ok, that's just an idea)
Cheers,
Alex
