Wicket: How to render a page to a string

        //initialize request and response
        servletRequest.initialize();
        servletResponse.initialize();

        ServletWebRequest webRequest = new ServletWebRequest(servletRequest);
        BufferedWebResponse webResponse = new BufferedWebResponse(servletResponse);
        webResponse.setAjax(true);

        WebRequestCycle requestCycle = new WebRequestCycle(application, webRequest, webResponse);
