We have a project where we use the validation/mapping of barracuda. The rest 
is JSP (unfortunately - I even prefer PHP over JSP). From what I have seen, 
the JSPs are compiled and the static html is embedded in some form of string 
constants that are printed to the result stream.

Thus it isn't possible, as this would mean you either have to post-process a 
complete JSP page given in HTML, not a DOM, or you'd have do instruct the jsp 
compiler to do this on the static parts. Which is also not really an option.

What we _do_ is that we use the barracuda classes as models and have some 
helper-functions to deal with them, e.g. generate <option> tags from a 
ListModel. But basically, its the same thing as every other jsp page.

I have no idea how taglibs work, but maybe they are another option.
