Hey,
  I do understand what your saying (I do this myself).  Here's the
approach I took.

1.) From a servlet do a Request Dispatch Forward
[RequestDispatcher.forward(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse
response)]

2.) Notice you feed the Forward a ServletResponse.  Implement your own
ServletResponse that stores all the output in a String.  I have a class
attached below.  Note this is a rather weak implementation of
ServletResponse.  But it gets the job done for me.  Usage would be
something like:

StringHttpServletResponse stringResponse = new
StringHttpServletResponse();
RequestDispatch.forward(request,stringResponse);
String output = stringResponse.toString();
