If this is your concern, use servlets along with a template engine like
WebMacro. In a servlet/template system, the programmer has total control
over what information appears in the template, and under what name. The
type of the object can change without affecting the result.
The template is still easy for a non-programmer to modify.

WebMacro is free software.
