URLTag showed a strange behavior




An URLTag was nested inside of a BodyTagSupport based Tag, another URLTag was 
positioned before.




When there were 2 URLTags and 1 of it nested, the output of both was written 
before the BodyTag output instead of: one output before and one nested.






jsp:




<%@taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/io-1.0" prefix="io" %>


<%@taglib uri="http://testtags" prefix="tt" %>




<io:request url="file:/C:/foo.txt" />




<tt:writebodycontent>


	ahead


		<io:request url="file:/C:/foo.txt" />


	after


</tt:writebodycontent>




---




Output: 




[content of foo.txt] [content of foo.txt] (writebodycontent: ahead after ) 




this is incorrect. The second "[content of foo.txt]" must be nested between 
"ahead after", i.e. inside of the output of the writebodycontent tag. If only 
one URLTag output is used, the nesting works. If two, no more. This is the bug.

temporary Resolution: Changed readURL() method in URLTag.java to avoid class 
casting of the java.io.Writer




After this the output was as expected:




[content of foo.txt] (writebodycontent: ahead [content of foo.txt] after )

Changed readURL() method in URLTag.java


demonstration purpose: avoiding cast to JSPWriter to java.io.Writer 






    protected void readURL() throws IOException, JspException {


        Tag parent = getParent();


        if ( writer == null && parent instanceof PipeConsumer ) {


            PipeConsumer consumer = (PipeConsumer) parent;


            consumer.setReader( getURLReader() );


        }


        else {


            if ( writer == null ) {


                writer = pageContext.getOut();


            }




            Reader reader = getURLReader();


            try {




                //PipeHelper.pipe( reader, writer );




				// code of PipeHelper inserted here


				char[] buffer = new char[ 50000 ];


				try {


					while (true) {


						int size = reader.read( buffer );


						if ( size <= 0 ) {


							return;


						}


						//writer.write( buffer, 0, size );


						


						//this is the difference. Class cast avoided


						pageContext.getOut().write( buffer, 0, size );


					}


				}


				finally {


					try {


						reader.close();


					}


					catch (Exception e) {


					}


				}


            } catch (Exception ex) {


				pageContext.getOut().print(ex.toString());


            }


        }


    }
