[JELLY] XML Return Value

[Sean Ferguson <se...@comcast.net>]

Hi,

I have a taglib that makes an http request to a server which responds 
with some XML.  How would I return that XML to the caller of the tag?  I 
tried doing this:

<x:parse var="doc">
    <mytaglib:getXml id="test"/>
</x:parse>

and my taglib does this:

<http:post var="request" ... /http:post>
${request.responseBodyAsStream}

But that doesn't work.  Is that what it the tag is supposed to return?  
If I do responseBodyAsString, it returns the string, but all the < and > 
tags are escaped out.

Please help,

Thanks!

Sean,

That's perfectly in line... <x:parse> does not parse it's body's output...
How about using the text attribute of the x:parse ? That's exactly the 
intent.

I have to say that it would be more efficient (and more philosophy 
compliant to actually have a flag saying "consider body as text to be 
parsed" and actually be fed not by a string but chunks of texts obtained 
as a stream from your result...
