That's possible with a custom UIComponent. My colleague Arjan Tijms has written a blog article about this 2 years ago: Facelets and legacy JSP.

It's some code, but the principle is easy, the component does a RequestDispatcher#include() with a custom HttpServletResponseWrapper which captures the written output and then writes it to the body of the JSF component.

Since recently, this component is also available as <o:resourceInclude> of the OmniFaces library, maintained by Arjan and me.

Last but not least, I'd like to repeat his last words.

I wouldn’t recommend using this as a lasting solution, but it might ease a migration from legacy JSP with smelly scriptlets and all on them to a more sane and modern Facelets application.
