I know this isn't precisely what you're asking for, but if you're 
interested in replacing the use of JSP with a template engine, you might 
consider FreeMarker, which is a template engine like Velocity, but more 
powerful, and more actively developed and maintained currently.

FreeMarker integrates quite well with Struts. Here is the appropriate 
manual section.

http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_misc_servlet.html

One major advantage of FM is that 3rd party JSP taglibs are supported 
from within FreeMarker templates. So, basically, you get your cake and 
eat it too. If there is some really cool JSP taglib that does something 
you need, you don't lose the ability to leverage that by opting for FM 
over JSP.

Anyway, I hope that's helpful.
