If you don't want to use the default template you can specify which template to use with getPageConfig().setTemplate().

In your case you want

    getPageConfig().setTemplate(PageConfig.Template.None);

Thanks,
That worked. Do you know how to remove the jsp formating? I tryed the jsp below with and without the
<%@ page contentType="text/plain" %> but my text gets wrapped in <DIV> tags.

<%@ page import="org.labkey.ms2.pipeline.PipelineController.SearchFormResponseView.ResponseBean" %>
<%@ page import="org.labkey.api.view.HttpView" %>
<%@ page extends="org.labkey.api.jsp.JspBase" %>
<%
    HttpView<ResponseBean> me = (HttpView<ResponseBean>) HttpView.currentView();
    ResponseBean bean = me.getModelBean();
%>
<%@ page contentType="text/plain" %>
<%=bean.reply%>

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

To avoid any extra formatting, you might want to try rendering your view within your action instead of returning a ModelAndView. Inside your action, you could call view.render(getViewContext().getRequest(), getViewContext().getResponse()); Then, return null from the action. This should prevent the framework from wrapping you in any other tags.

You should be able to get rid of the <DIV> by setting the view's frametype to NONE:

    v.setFrame(WebPartView.FrameType.NONE);

But I agree that avoiding JSPs in this case is a good idea.

Also see org.labkey.api.view.HtmlView

Thanks for all of the feedback!
I ended up using the getViewContext().getResponse()) method.
