If all the components uses Velocity to render the content, you must be
using Template#merge or Velocity(Engine)#mergeTemplate or
Velocity(Engine)#evaluate in each of your components, correct? If so,
you can just put the Writer in the Context before rendering.
context.put("writer", writer)
And in the template,
$component.render($writer)
