This means that you'd like to respond to the web request with something 
else than a complete web page?

If you want such (like JAvaSript), you do the following:
1. normaly write your App and a view method, say viewJS
2. in that App implement #contentType to return 'text/javascript'
3. in viewJS prepare a WebElement and addText: yourJSCode
4. simply return that element as result of this view

This should work.

Best regards
JAnko
