Shale Clay will allow you to do this kind of thing too. 

But, I wonder if you could spoof it out.  It looks like the base UIComponentTag keeps a stack of components as it is processing the JSP.  If you you could pop a fake UIComponentTag on the stack associating it with an instance of your NamingContainer, you might be about to use a request.getRequestDispatcher("/my.jsp").include(request, response).   I don't know if it would work.
