Joomla component output - only template - no default site skeleton

Question

Hi is possible somehow output only content of single view/template in joomla component?As standard I put the output into according part of whole site, but I have some action which is called by robot, so I need to have custom output..

the component output is commonly rendered somewhere on default site template, but I need to only respond with the markup in the component output..

Please help, I've googled for some time, but founded nothing:( Thanks

You can append ?tmpl=component to any Joomla URL to have use the component.php file in the root of you template directory. That file can be customized to display anything you want, the default only displays the bare minimum HTML around the component output.
