Hi, In that case, what do you think about changing the TemplateService.renderTemplate() signature to allow the Context to be passed in?
Velocity and Freemarker TemplateServices would just ignore it and function exactly as before (they could trivially implement the new signature by just calling the old one with a null), but a new JspTemplateService could now use this Context to get the HttpServletRequest and Response, which would allow it to render the Jsp normally via RequestDispatcher.include() If writing to an intermediate String is preferred instead of writing directly to output stream then a mock HttpServletResponse can be passed in. This mock instance would implement the HttpServletResponse methods but would internally write to a StringWriter instead of the OutputStream. HttpServletResponseWrapper would make a handy starting point for writing such a class. Thoughts? Should I repost in the dev forum?
