Oops,
I guess I should add that I was creating email messages during a batch
processing operation at 1am, so this was not generated by an action,
and there was no request/response object available. Otherwise the
other solution with RequestDispatcher would have worked.

Hi,
I couldn't find a way to do this, other than using Jelly:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/
Which uses JEXL which is a EL processing engine, so it looks like JSP
with EL. The Jelly tutorial has an example where you can call the
Embedded object to process a jelly script file. Jelly scripts are not
exactly the same though. I used it for creating some HTML email messages.

Does anybody know of a simple way to use JSP as an INTERNAL templating
engine. For example, if I have a struts application where I'm
generating an email to send, I currently have to use Velocity on the
server side to put the values into the template, then send that.
Is there a simple way to do the same with JSP? Would I be best served
by on the server side, constructing an HTTP request to a JSP that simply
pops in the request attributes into the correc place?
High-level of what I want to do:
ActionForward execute(mapping, form, request, response) {
MyForm myform = (MyForm)form;
Hashtable vals = new Hashtable();
vals.put("user",form.getUser());
vals.put("car",form.getCar());
JSPProcessor proc = new JSPProcessor();
proc.getRequestScope().put("values",vals);
StringBuffer buff = proc.evaluate("WEB-INF/templates/email.jsp");
MailUtils.mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]",buff);
}
Where JSPProcessor is the kind of magic I'm looking for. I don't really
see anything built into the API spec, so I SUSPECT if there were
anything available in Tomcat, for instance, it would be implementation
specific.
Not a HUGE deal, but it's kinda' a pain to have to train new folks on
how to put together the JSP's AND how to put together the velocity
templates.
Thanks,
Will
