I do not know if there is a class doing what you want from a CAS, but it is 
easy to extract snippets of html from a document using a library like jsoup 
(http://jsoup.org). For example, you could extract the body content in the 
following way :

 // retrieve complete document html
String html = …

// extract html under body
String snippet = Jsoup.parse(html).select("body").html();

Hope this help,

Alexandre
