Hey Vinod,
Currently that's not really possible unfortunately; There is a design
discussion going on for how to solve these use cases by extending the
templating proposal and allowing for such more clasic-style-
webdevelopment, but that will be a little while more before that's in
place.
What does work, although it's a bit of a work around, is fetching your
html output with an signed gadgets.io.makeRequest call, and parsing
the information along on it's url. see:
http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/articles/makerequest-0.8.html
The you can take the response from that, put that in your root div
element... and you pretty much have the development model your looking
for; Not the cleanest solution, but functional until we have another
way to solve it.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
I am looking for a solution to pass request parameters to a URL
gadget.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:-
1) I have a servlet that expects name in the HTTP request so that it
can respond with a Hello <name> message
2) I have created a URL gadget that points to my servlet like this:-
<Module>
<ModulePrefs
title="Hello World Gadget"
directory_title="Simplest Gadget"
title_url="Hello World Gadget"
description="A very simple gadget."
height="120"
author="Vinod Pillai"
/>
<Content href="http://localhost/sample/hello.do"; type="url" />
</Module>
Where http://localhost/sample/hello.do is the URL of my servlet.
3) Is there a way to pass name as HTTP request parameter (GET or
POST)
to hello.do through known gadget APIs provided with Shindig
distribution?
Any suggestions/pointers are greatly appreciated.
