John,
I'm just finishing implementing a tag library that may help you out.
I shall submit it to jakarta-taglibs by the beginning of next week.
My tentative name for the tag library is "IOAdapter".
Its goal is to provide a generic mechanism by which a variety of
input sources can be copied to a variety of output sinks, with
an optional transformation applied on the input source before
it is copied over.
In your case, it would look something like the following:
<jsp:useBean id="tmp" class="java.lang.String"/>
<x:ioa outBean="tmp">
... content ...
</x:ioa>
If an "in" argument is not specified in the 'ioa' tag, input
comes by default from the tag's body content.
Would that fit your requirements?
