[Stripes-users] Getting the results of JSP within an Action

[Heather and Jon Turgeon]

Hi all, within my Stripes based website I do a few of thing. One of them is to create emails to send out to users. I am using HTML emails with the bodies written as strings (a bit of work and very messy). What I would like to do is use an Action to get the data from the db, then do a Resolution to a JSP, but get the results of the resolution within the Action in the form of a String. This way I can use JSP as an email template, grab the result and use this as the body of an email. Hopefully this is possible and thanks for any help.

Uhh, it's very strange what you do because JSP are not intended for that.
Why not use a template library like Velocity, Freemaker or Mustache?

Agree, definitely use Velocity for this. This is exactly the kind of use
case that Velocity wad intended foe.
