java-programmer, Execute JSP within a servlet ? Hi folks,

A bug in cocoon prevents me from using it with JSP ... so I decided to
do my own implementation. I want to load up and execute a JSP file from
within a servlet, and from the generated XML doc apply an XSL style
sheet, then send back HTML to the browser. This is doable right ? since
a jsp doc somehow gets compiled and executed within a servlet anyway
... Is there an example of how this can be done ?
Also, am I going to miss out on some possible caching that happens
magically when I invoke a jsp directly from the browser ?

Many thanks,

galpi

I think you can forward to it. Or use the methods similiar to filter
(then it will return back after jsp is done), but jsp's class naming is
not standardized.

java-programmer >> Execute JSP within a servlet ? Thanks Aquilla ...

I found an example of how this can be done. For others who might be
interested :

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) {
...
try {
String jsp2Call=/jsp/myJsp.jsp";
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(
jsp2Call).forward(request, response); } catch (Exception e)
{.....}
...
}
