Jennifer,
You are partially correct when you say I was assuming the entire HTML page
gets sent. It was more like I realize it doesn't get sent normally but was
hoping somehow that the servlet engine in conjunction with the JSDK api
would allow me to access the page some way. That is why I was looking at
req.getReader(). Since this is not possible, the way I see doing this is to
use a template (product or home-grown) or read the HTML page myself.
Thanks for the feedback,
Gary
