Standard JSTL (1,2) has xml builtin. The url is a pointer to the docs, but you will not be able to install and use them with out doing some reading. http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html
One of the better books, is "JavaServerPages" by Bergsten from O'Reilly. Pg 248 starts a chapter that deals with xml processing. It may be that you don't need to parse as much "transform" your xml into html. Please enjoy the reading.
