render jsp to send in javamail

[Mark]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knew of a way to render the output of a jsp
page without printing it to the browser and then send that html as a
message through javamail... i.e. An invoice part of a web app that
allows you to either see your invoice through the browser or have it
sent to you via email. The invoice is presented to the browser as a
jsp page. I would like to send that same jsp page, after it has been
rendered, via email. I am trying to accomplish this in a Struts
application, so I would probably have an ActionServlet try and
accomplish this and then forward the user to a confirmation page.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Can't you just call your JSP from anywhere in your application and
fetch the result using java.net.URL? Isn't that easier? You can
just call a servlet or JSP which first calls the JSP to fetch
the HTML, mail it and then redirect to that JSP.
