forcing JSP parsing/evaluation

[wac]

I've got a JSP which is passed an XML file which can sometimes have JSP tags embeded in it (since JSP is just XML). Once my tag handler reads the XML file and gets to the JSP part, is there a way to feed the input stream to some process which will handle the embeded JSP? I've found that if a tag lib just emits JSP, it does not get reparsed and handled. The output is expected to be HTML (for the client). I need something equivalent to a javascript 'eval' which will force the JSP engine to reevaluate this new JSP source.

This might be what you're looking for:

In any event, I'd try to avoid putting JSP in an XML file, if at all possible. Just seems too easy to put in some code that could do some real damage.
