I'm also looking at doing exactly the same thing - my first guess was to write a Generator to take the response from the servlet (perhaps similar to ServletGenerator? - I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.).
I have just about no experience of either Tomcat or Cocoon, so any help/thoughts would be much appreciated!
