What we have now works well. The idea is to use a Servlet filter that
parses and applies XForms processing on the output of a JSP placed
under /xforms-jsp. (Of course you can configure this as you wish.)
But it is experimental in that we have not fully refined an
architecture around JSP and XForms. Should we favor the filter
approach, or also develop an approach based on Servlet forwarding? Or
both?
Should we recommend that JSP pages produce entire XHTML+XForms pages,
or should we instead recommend that you write static XHTML+XForms
pages but that JSP produce XForms instances used for XForms pages
initialiation (better for performance)? Or both?
Etc.
Also, we do not really want to overly push in the direction of JSP, as
sure, that is a useful technology, but the reach of XForms goes beyond
the Java platform and we really don't want to hint that you have to
know Java or JSP to use XForms with OPS. And in fact you don't: you
can deploy your static XForms pages in OPS, or consume dynamically
produced pages produced by scripting languages such as PHP, and of
course perform XForms submissions to services written in any language.
The bottom line at this point we do not have much experience using
XForms with JSP, and we welcome your feedback in this area!

You will need ops-main-filter and ops-xforms-server-servlet.
For reference we have basic preliminary documentation here, which you
have probably seen:
