Hey
This is really off-topic, as there is a JSP-INTEREST list. But anyway...

I'm glad you asked. :-)
Here's a full example copy&pasted straight from an example of
OrionServer JSP1.1 capabilities, so I know this works in practice.
-------------------
<%@ page session="false" %>
<%@ taglib uri="looptags.jar" prefix="test" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Loop TagLibrary example</title>
</head>
<body>
This example shows how to use a simple loop-tag with
dynamic attributes.<br>
<br>
<% int x = 0; %>
<table border="2">
<test:loop count="10">
<tr>
<test:loop
count="<%=Math.random() * 10f%>">
<td><%=x++%></td>
</test:loop>
</tr>
</test:loop>
</table>
End...
</body>
</html>
-------------------
As you can see this is still somewhat "programmer"-ish. It can be
abstracted even more, but it shows that the potential is there. The tags
can be arbitrarily complex, so how much you define in meta-data and how
much you need to code in the JSP page is up to you.
That's what I was referring to in an earlier post: JSP1.1 is so
incredibly powerful that you can completely screw it up if you're not
careful. "Best practices" is crucial.
