"Better" is subjective. It's certainly more standard, more widely supported, and probably ultimately more familiar to people who may need to maintain the page. JSTL's XML library comes with a tag called <x:transform> that lets you conduct XSLT transformations on source XML documents. JSTL's support for XSLT is compelling in many ways. It is actually somewhat sophisticated behind the scenes, because it lets you refer to stylesheets or source documents using paths relative to the root of the web applications. This means your documents can contain relative entity references and that your stylesheets can use <xsl:include> and similar tags against webapp-relative paths.
