view not on file-system

We accomplished something similar by creating a custom FaceletFactory implementation and overriding createFaceletFactory() in our FaceletViewHandler to return our custom factory.  We also implemented a custom Facelet Compiler since the default SAXCompiler's doCompile() method loads the XHTML from an input stream based on a URL.  Ours loads it from a database based on a logical path.

Subject: view not on file-system

Hi,
I'm designing a web application where view pages are not on file system, but pages are stored on database and loaded on request.
Facelets view handler requires an URL as an input for parsing the XHTML page.
The first and most obvious solution I designed (just in my mind now) is one where the view is loaded from database, written on file-system and then the  viewId (and the URL) is ready to be processed by Facelets ViewHandler.
What I don't like of this solution is that the page is read from database, written on the file-system and then parsed by Facelets. When the view is read from database, the stream is ready to be parsed by Facelets, writing it on the file-system is just a waste of time and resources.
I suppose that the depicted scenario  is not so uncommon, can you suggest me an elegant solution?
Thanks in advance.
