Hi Matt,
you can
1. Save the current out, create a JspStringWriter(), set it to out,
call <jsp:forward> (note: no parameter passing) and restore
out.
2. Call the servlet via HTTP-Protokoll and use the output then.
Examples were posted on this list, or look at the
doHTTPInclude() method of JspServlet.java in a current gnujsp
snapshot, I'm using the same technique there.
3. Does it really need to be a servlet doing the HTML-Ouput?
Means: can you make slight changes so that it runs as a servlet
and as a bean? I did that lately and it made things very easy.
The only methods my service() really used were setContentType()
and getOuputStream().
So I changed it to use getWriter() and moved
nearly all of the stuff from service() (or doGET() or
what you use) do work(HttpServletRequest, PrintWriter w)
and I'm calling that from the jsp page after setting
the attributes in the request.
