Anish,

No, the XHTML (or HTML) document is not something static that you can
reuse: it needs the XForms engine doing its magic. So this wouldn't
work to generate a JSP either. See also:

But you can do the oposite: use JSP to produce XForms+XHTML, and feed
that to the XForms engine:

I am not sure what an entity is. I assume it's more than an XML fragment?

Along those lines, things that come to mind:

* Form Builder allows you to create reusable section templates.
* the XBL component system in Orbeon allows you to create and reuse UI controls
