Here's some code that does what Gennady suggested, using
RequestDispatcher and wrapping the response object to capture the
output in a String.
public class JSPFormatter
{
public String formatPage(String stJSPFile,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
ServletContext ctx)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
// Make a wrapper for the response, to capture the output.
ResponseWrapper rw = new ResponseWrapper(response);
// Call the JSP page and capture its output.
RequestDispatcher rd = ctx.getRequestDispatcher(stJSPFile);
rd.include(request, rw);
return rw.getOutputString();
}
/**
* Nested class ResponseWrapper: Wrapper for the response to
capture the servlet output.
*/
public class ResponseWrapper extends HttpServletResponseWrapper
{
protected StringWriter writer = null;
protected ByteArrayOutputStream stream = null;
public ResponseWrapper(HttpServletResponse response) {
super(response);
}
public String getOutputString() {
if (writer != null)
return writer.toString();
else if (stream != null)
return stream.toString();
else
return null;
}
public ServletOutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException {
stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
return new OutputStreamWrapper();
}
public PrintWriter getWriter() throws IOException {
writer = new StringWriter();
return new PrintWriter(writer);
}
/**
* Nested class OutputStreamWrapper: Wrapper for the
OutputStream to turn it
* into a ServletOutputStream for getOutputStream.
*/
public class OutputStreamWrapper extends ServletOutputStream
{
public void write(int b) throws IOException {
stream.write(b);
}
}
}
}
