Hi,
you can set a custom responseWriter into the facesContext and call
encode methods on the component.
like this:
// backup the writer
ResponseWriter writer
= (ResponseWriter) facesContext.getResponseWriter();
// replace responseWriter and render page content
StringWriter content = new StringWriter();
ResponseWriter contentWriter = writer.cloneWithWriter(content);
facesContext.setResponseWriter(contentWriter);
// encode the component
component.encodeBegin(facesContext);
component.encodeChildren(facesContext);
component.encodeEnd(facesContext);
// reset the writer
facesContext.setResponseWriter(writer);
// get the content from StringWriter
String htmlSource = content.toString();
Regards
Volker
