Get HTML content by HttpServletResponse / HttpServletRequest

Is there any way to obtain a HTML content by开发者_运维知识库 HttpServletResponse or HttpServletRequest?

I need to print a PDF based on HTML object.

In this scenerio i would use a filter. You can access content which wanted to be output and redirect the output stream to your PDF generator which can convert HTML to PDF.

common way is to create PDFs from model objects. Then use iText. http://itextpdf.com/

You can create a PDF from the HTTP request data and whatever other information you need from the server side by merging it into a Velocity template containing the FO defining your PDF.
