Please provide some more details. Your description is really too vague to respond to.
However, If you are attempting to generate a 'complicated' html document, a JSP or set of JSP (with JSP or HTML includes) provides ample means for generating highly complicated HTML. You may want to consider using CSS as well. This may simplify your html somewhat. You're right about using 'out.println("...");'. This technique is extremely clumsy, and difficult to maintain. JSP's give you the ability to write plain-vanilla HTML, which you can intersperse with java code that can do the fancy stuff. When you add taglibs to the mix, then you can do some very powerful things with some fairly simple HTML / XML.
