Using Play Templates Elsewhere

Question

Is it possible to use the templating engine from the Play Framework in other contexts? Ideally I'd like an api of the form:

String result = render("template-file.html",var1,var2);

In some frameworks the templating engine is entirely usable outside of the framework, or even standalone.

I don't know if you can use templating engine outside Play context but you can generate the html page like this :

Map args = new HashMap();
args.put("var1",var1);
...
String html = TemplateLoader.load("contact.html",args).render();
