No. The "application" is predefined, in advance, by the app developer. The app consists of one or more JSPs, all interlinked, that display database info as tables and charts. When a user logs into the app, he/she migrates through the pages, looking at the values shown by the tables and charts at that point in time. When the data changes in the database, the "views" provided by the webapp will change the next time a given JSP is accessed. And there may be many of these apps, all consisting of different numbers of JSPs, where every JSP shows different tables differently. However, there are still just two custom tags - "display table X as a table" and "display table X as a chart".
Whew...I thought I had such a simple question, but I'm really having trouble explaining myself. :) I appreciate everyone's input though.
