You could use beans or custom tags to interact with an EJB from inside a
JSP page.  However, wanting this leads me to believe that you wish to
intermix business logic and presentation logic in the page -- a practice
that is discouraged by the "Model 2" architectural approach recommended by
most web application frameworks.  An example of a framework that lets you
maintain this separation is Struts <http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/>.
