Fwiw, I have actually used Velocity to render content inside a JSP.  My
case was a custom tag to represent a particular kind of object, where I
also needed to generate the same HTML fragments outside of JSP anyway. 
This seems easier actually.

But honestly, I probably wouldn't do it either of those ways.  I'd just
add additional servlet mapping(s) for the MVC DispatcherServlet and just
do it as a simple controller + (Velocity) view.  Unless there's
something about our setup that would make that hard, but off-hand I
don't know of anything.
