render tile without request

[Tommy Sullivan <to...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
A portion of the web application I'm working on uses Comet to push  
updates to a client.  These functions don't have access to a  
HttpServletRequest, only a RESTEasy AsynchronousResponse.  Is there  
any way I can use the TilesContainer to render a definition without  
the HttpServletRequest?  I'd love to be able to pass the container a  
definition and model and receive a string to put in the  
AsynchronousResponse.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tommy

You have to create two classes:
* one class that implements TilesRequestContext, that represents the "request".
* one class that implements TilesRequestContextFactory, that knows how
to build the previous request.
Such couples are already implemented for servlets, portlets, JSP,
FreeMarker and Velocity.
I've read rapidly the Javadocs, but I cannot understand a thing: how
do you access the "space" for attributes? (if any) And how do you
write to the response?
