I haven't tried this, but I can't see how it would work without a
little Java code. Perhaps you could create a new model object that
knows how to get content from a JSP or Servlet and then add that
object to the Roller config via roller-custom.properties.

(Models must implement org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.Model)

Then you could call your new object within page templates:

   $mymodel.getJSPContent("foo/bar.jsp")
