You can create JSP pages from XML source, but you can't (in the same
webapp) pass them on to the container to be compiled in a reliably
portable manner. You'd need to synthesize a new webapp and then use
container specific deployment mechanisms.
I'd suggest looking at turning the problem inside out -- manage the XSLT
transformations in a JSP page that you author by hand, perhaps using the
XML tags in JSTL (or the xtags package at jakarta-taglibs), and then use
the appropriate output tag to write directly to the response.
