There are a variety of fairly sophisticated template packages available
that do exactly this. You could write a simple one on your own, but if
you use an existing one, you will get something a lot more featurefull.
I wrote one called WebMacro:
http://webmacro.org
which was selected by the Java Report as one of the top three servlet
packages of 1999. There is another one out there called FreeMarker,
though at the momemt FreeMarker's website appears down.
WebMacro works with beans and bean-like objects. It introspcts the
data you drop into a hashtable, determining what properties it has,
and allowing you to reference those properties in your template:
$client.Name
could correspond to Customer.getName() for example. It also supports
looping, comes with a set of tools, etc.
