[Opensource] how can you email html generated by the current request object an d an action forward

[Mike Traum]

Sorry, I should have been more verbose. Here's the situation:
- user clicks and calls a state
- state generates output to user
- i want that same state to generate an email with the same information in
the output to the user, just displayed differently
- i can't simply use a URL connection to call the state again because there
is business logic in there which prevents the Output's from being generated
when the state is run again

So, I want to be able to use the same response object (or just the Outputs
from that response object) to create a stream based off of a jsp. I've been
thinking somthing like using a RequestDispatcher to basically make another
call to a state with no business logic with the same response, but that
doesn't work because I can't read the data in the response object, only
write to it.

Thanks,
Mike

Did you get an answer to this one?

I'm not sure I understand the entire question...  do you mean you can NOT
use current response object?.  I assume that the URL connection would be to
get the HTML as a stream.  You can probably manipulate the framework,
particularly ExpressoActionServlet.java, such that the JSP output is not
flushed into the HTTP stream, but rather captured in some string-stream and
subsequently e-mailed.

to use a URLConnection to call another page. The obvious problems with using
a URLConnection is that I can use the current response object.
