I highly recommend that you look at the Maverick MVC framework, which
was designed to handle exactly this case. The basic concept is
Struts-like, but with a lot more power and flexibility. You can define
simple "Shunts" which choose between different views based on request
characteristics like user agent. For example, this snippet from a
hypothetical Maverick config file defines a "query" command/URL:
<command name="query">
<controller class="my.pkg.QueryController"/>
<view type="domify" mode="IE">
<transform path="ie_version.xsl">
</view>
<view type="domify" mode="Netscape">
<transform path="ns_version.xsl">
</view>
</command>
This example uses the "domify" package to automatically adapt your
JavaBeans model to a DOM representation which is fed directly to the
XSLT engine, so there is no need to generate XML with JSP (although you
can if you want to). You can perform multiple iterative
transformations, too.
The distribution includes an example of a Shunt which handles
internationalization based on the Accept-Language. It's all Open Source
and covered by an Apache-style license.
