I think for now these should be the same module. "Seam Docs" -- There's
also
been speculation on whether a Mock Framework could be used to boot-up JSF
and render documents.
Another alternative is to build a UIViewRoot, and replace it during the
PreRenderViewEvent (which specifically states that it can be used to replace
the UIViewRoot.)
Or.. there's the possibility of simply creating a "fake" Request and
Response object, and doing an internal forward in order to capture output
and capture the output (via the faked response object) to be used in
generating the PDF or Mail document.
This last option is probably where I would start. I'd start by simply trying
to create a new request and capture the output -- just try on a normal page,
we can worry about generating pages that look like email documents after
this basic functionality is working.

So a seam-mail and a seam-reporting?
