In the servlet doPost/Get/service method:
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(my_jsp_URL_as_String).forward(request, 
response);

In the JSP, you have various options, but to start with I'd suggest 
checking out the xml tags at jakarta.apache.org, although I must confess I 
didn't manage to get them to work the last time I downloaded them. (That 
could be because of a classpath problem - I'm not entirely sure which 
version of xalan and xerces I have and where...)

A quick search at java.sun.com for xml/jsp will also throw up some stuff.


HTH,
Jim
