Trying to read in redered HTML from a jsp

Question

How can I read in the HTML thats rendered from my jsp to a string buffer so I can dump in a mail function below?
I was thinking I can do :
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append
but I dont know exactly how to read in the file to set to the buffer
public void sendMailWithAttachment(String toAddress, String fromAddress, String subject, String msgBody, String attachmentContent, String sFileExt){
        try{
            String hostDNSName  = "mercury.homes.com";
            //String emailBodyContent = null;
            //String subject      = null;
            //Get system properties
            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            //Setup mail server
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", hostDNSName);
            //Get session
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
            //Define message
            MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromAddress));
            message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,  new InternetAddress(toAddress));
            message.setSubject(subject);
            //Create the message part
            BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
            //Fill the message
            if (msgBody.equals("")) {
                messageBodyPart.setText("Please find your file attached.");               
            } else {
                messageBodyPart.setText(msgBody);
            Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
            multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
                //try{
                    //FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("contacts." + sFileExt);
                    //DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);
                    //dos.writeUTF(attachmentContent);
                    //Part two is attachment
                    String mimeType = null;
                    //theoretically expand this later for other file types
                    DataHandler dataHandler = null;
                    if (sFileExt.equals("xls")) {
                        //convert attachmentContent to a byte[]
                        byte[] attachmentContentByteArray = attachmentContent.getBytes();
                        DataSource dsData = new MemoryDataSource(attachmentContentByteArray, "export.xls", "application/vnd.ms-excel");                       
                        dataHandler = new DataHandler(dsData);
                        //mimeType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
                    } else {
                        //mimeType = "text/plain";
                        dataHandler = new DataHandler(attachmentContent,"text/plain");
                    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                    //with this constructor there does not appear to be a way to set the file name
                    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(dataHandler);
                    //messageBodyPart.setContent(attachmentContent);                   
                    //messageBodyPart.setContentType(mimeType);
                    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
                    //dos.close();
                    //fos.close();
                //}catch(IOException e){
                //    logger.debug("error");
            //Put parts in message
            message.setContent(multipart);
            //Send message
            Transport.send(message);
        }catch(Exception e){
            logger.info("sendMailRob(String) " + e);

//with this constructor there does not appear to be a way to set the file name
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(dataHandler);Well, that isn't a constructor. But I don't understand... the MimeBodyPart class DOES have a setFileName() method.
