XML HTTP Post & JSP

Hello...
I have a servlet that accepts an XML request (via HTTP post) and
responds with an XML output. Now, my question is - Is it possible to
respond with output to a JSP page?
Scenario.....
User sends XML request to servlet.
Servlet processes request. OK
Servlet responds by outputting the result to a JSP page.

How can this be done? Code snippets are welcome.

Thanks muchly.....
Harry H.

Look at these methods:

(I think that you meant - Is it possible to respond with output
generated by a JSP page?)

If you mean injecting the result to a page that is already displayed in
the client browser: you can't... Or not using this scenario.
There is a JavaScript method that let you perform XML HTTP request. The
result is return in a String variable that you can process in your
javascript code and dynamically display.
This is not specific to Java but Javascript.

I have written entire systems based on XML being sent back to the
browser. I preferred XSLT transformation over JavaScript.
