You need the enterprise or j2ee edition, the professional/standard
edition does not come with JSP support.

Well if your lucky they left most of their logic in Java objects, and in
that case it probably wouldn't be that hard to convert the JSP to CFML.
If they implemented data access, and business objects in plain old java
classes (not jsp), then you can easily invoke those java classes in
ColdFusion (with CreateObject(), or CFOBJECT).
JSP is not all that complicated, if you can understand java, _javascript_,
php, then you shouldn't have too much trouble figuring out what is going on.
hope that helps.
