> Test
> </a:emp>

> some extra jsp contents and is working fine. But the problem I'm facing

> Output is
> Hello wold
> Test
> in do after body tag

> and out put i require is
> Hello wold

> The reason being is I will be passing expression as the body and will

> 2) Is it like if i call BodyContent bc =  this.getBodyContent(); in
