/**
 * An encapsulation of the evaluation of the body of an action so it is
 * available to a tag handler.  BodyContent is a subclass of JspWriter.
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that the content of BodyContent is the result of evaluation, so
 * it will not contain actions and the like, but the result of their
 * invocation.
 * 
 * <p>
 * BodyContent has methods to convert its contents into
 * a String, to read its contents, and to clear the contents.
 *
 * <p>
 * The buffer size of a BodyContent object is unbounded.  A
 * BodyContent object cannot be in autoFlush mode.  It is not possible to
 * invoke flush on a BodyContent object, as there is no backing stream.
 *
 * <p>
 * Instances of BodyContent are created by invoking the pushBody and
 * popBody methods of the PageContext class.  A BodyContent is enclosed
 * within another JspWriter (maybe another BodyContent object) following
 * the structure of their associated actions.
 *
 * <p>
 * A BodyContent is made available to a BodyTag through a setBodyContent()
 * call.  The tag handler can use the object until after the call to
 * doEndTag().
