Since you have a well-formed (XML) jsp and well-formed XML metadata, you could run an (pre-runtime) XSL transformation that combines the two however you need. In other words, instead of combining known metadata at runtime, pre-generate the JSPX in some prior stage. With JSP 2.0, EL and the standard taglib it is really easy to work with JSP as XML so you can get the benefits of many different ways to transform it (XSL, XQuery, SAX filter, some DOMish manipulation, etc and you don't even need to use java)
