Description
There is no easy way to get result from rendering of JSF page without going to
browser.
It would be very useful to have possibility directly initiate rendering of the
page and get corresponding result from it. Ability to use this approach will
allow developers easily adapt JSF as powerful template engine. In my case we
are using JSF as template engine to render HL7 messages. Also this functionality
would be helpful for testing purposes. For example "FacesTester" project
included some additional code just because there are a needs to get result of
rendering directly in java code.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue's proposed use of JSF as a template engine and the additional rendering code in the referenced FacesTester project. Trace how JSF currently renders through a browser and determine what direct-rendering API would be needed. Done means Java code can initiate page rendering and receive the resulting output, with coverage for the new behavior.
