XSP to construct mail body in XSP page

[m....@devote.nl]

Hi,

In an XSP page we have to construct and send a mail (body should be text).
The same XSP page outputs HTML to a user.
The problem is that I need my session info in the XSP page (user info for
logged in user).

The things I tried are:
- Calling cocoon from an XSP page by creating a URL object and using
openconnection (another session object is used)
- Calling the cocoon engine's handle method from an XSP page (session info
cannot be passed if the output is a stream)

Both ways I cannot pass the info of the current user in a safe way and
intercept the output of the page so that it can be used for the mail body.

Any ideas?

TIA

I don't quite understand, but are you using the sendmail taglib?
I'm able to pass session and user info to it.
