Hi, I'm not sure if that is possible actually. The question is how would you render the JSP template to a String which the Panel can return. If you know of a way you can create a custom Panel to achieve that. One route might be to create a custom HttpServletResponse using a ByteArray which you then forward to the container's JSP engine. Once it returns the byteArray should contain the content.
