Yes and no! :)
This work has been created under my supervision almost ten years ago. :)
The student did an exceptional job and created proof-of-concept taglibs for BSF
(Apache Bean
Scripting Framework) and JSR223 (Java scripting framework 'javax.script') (and
even a
proof-of-concept javax.script implementation for ooRexx).

Maybe I should reformulate the request in form of open questions:
* Is there any container that supports for the page directive the use of any
javax.script language
such as Jython, ooRexx, et.al.?
* Is there any official/supported taglib to allow javax.script languages to
be deployed in JSPs
like demonstrated as a proof-of-concept in Stanislav Ryabenkiy's work? Are
there any initiatives
for creating such a support?
* Is there any interest in allowing Java scripting languages to be used in
JSPs as demonstrated as
a proof-of-concept in Ryabenkiy's work with PHP/Quercus, Python/Jython and
ooRexx?

P.S.: My request stems from the expectation that by now javax.script languages
are fully supported
in JSPs, which may not be the case at all judging from the answers so far.
P.P.S.: <http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/diplomarbeiten/> would list all sorts of
student's work that might
be interesting or of help for others (like the above mentioned Bachelor thesis).
