I haven't yet had to deal with 500-screen applications (thank goodness), but I can
sympathize with your concern. I also use the "model 2" design approach in my
current apps, pretty much as outlined in your "Solution 1".
One thought, though -- in your solution 2 approach, there seems to be almost no
value add from having JSP in the mix. Wouldn't it be easier to just write your
apps in pure servlets in this case? (If so, there are libraries around that can
construct DOM-style object graphs that then know how to render themselves as
HTML).
