I think so, although I have not really tried it. The server side react example that I
looked at seemed like it would work fine with this (as it just renders to a string which
is then sent to a client). I think the biggest potential issue could be react.js and
compatibility with Nashorn.

Subject: Re: [undertow-dev] Using JavaScript with Undertow
Could this potentially be used to server side render react.js components
inside of undertow to create an isomorphic app? I was considering
investigating a way to do that.
Thanks,
