Is it possible to resolve a view from an external source or inputstream?

The scenario is that a remote application creates an almost complete JSP page, that our applicatino will consume over Http using something like HttpClient, the application will then add some more decoration, possibly via the backing model and then deliver the view as normal.

Just for information I found a solution using velocity templates instead, utilising URLResourceLoader to supply vm templates over Http.

<bean id="velocityConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer">
        <property name="velocityProperties">
          <props>
          	<prop key="resource.loader">file, MYO</prop>
	      
          	<prop key="MYO.resource.loader.class">org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.URLResourceLoader</prop>
            <prop key="MYO.resource.loader.root">http://static.content.com/static/</prop>
            <prop key="MYO.resource.loader.cache">false</prop>
            <prop key="MYO.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval">0</prop>
            </props>
         </property>
    </bean>
