Feature Request

[mjkelleher <mj...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Posted a new feature request: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2834

Some of the standard EE taglibs support this feature, and would be nice 
if sling:include did also.

Thanks,

Could we have a helper method/service here as well? Not just for JSPs but for java code as well.

It's a common question that people want to render a request result into a string (or simply get the stream; internally a bytearrayoutputstream probably), and the answer "yes, you can do that, just build your own dummy request/response wrappers and place your own outputstream in there" is a bit difficult.

Two recent examples that could make use of that in Sling:
- Bertrand's health check which does script execution: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/contrib/extensions/healthcheck/hc-sling/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/hc/sling/impl/HttpResponse.java (see javadoc)
- web resources (from SLING-2805) that allow for compilers to be written as sling script engines (ok, that's just an idea)

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Mike

I agree, that this would be a nice addition. I don't think this is too
hard to implement, basically all it takes is wrap the response and
overwrite the getWriter method to capture the output in a StringBuilder
which can then be pumped into the variable or StringReader.

Would you be able to come up with a patch ?

Regards
Felix
