It sounds as if Turbine does more of what your after ( http://java.apache.org/turbine 
) - which can use ECS or other related tools (eg WebMacro) for the core screen 
building, but also provides a clean flow control, you have actions and screens 
separated out.

Turbine is the servlet/ECS integration you are looking for.

Don't let its "unreleased" state fool you - its very usable.
