How to handle "visibility" of form elements

Hi all!
We are using Struts for the view in a "intranet" application. After 
one year of developing the application, we need to improve the way we 
do the JSPs, since we put many many scriptlet in the JSPs to check 
whenever we should show the attributes, and when these attributes 
shoud be read-only or read-write, and so on. The logic is in the JSP 
and in the actions!!!!

We would like to have a way to set some kind of DTO in the facade 
(puting information about how each attributo should appears: 
read-only, read-write or even not be show), so in the action we only 
need to put that DTO in the ActionFrom, and the JSP should check that 
DTO and show the form's elements read-only, read-write or ignore it.
Is there some framework that do something like this?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english!

Horacio
