It would be technically feasible to use remoting for this purpose, although
it is not a first class use case. The general idea would be to use the "web
application resource" mechanism (which is the same thing you'd use to
download a static CSS stylesheet or javascript file, for example). Instead
of a context-relative URL like:
/webapp/foo/bar.css
you would use a URL like
/webapp/foo/bar.faces
(assuming you are using *.faces mapping).
That all being said, however, I suspect that Shale Remoting is not the best
approach if what you are after is dynamic responses that are constructed
with JSF components. You might want to look at some of the component based
solutions that support "partial page refresh" -- the MyFaces component
libraries (including the incubator "Trinidad" library, which was originally
ADF Faces). Another interesting technology to look at is the DynaFaces
facility that is part of the jsf-extensions[1] library at java.net.
