Your XSL layout code can be reused with application written in
any language. One application written in Java generate XML
objects and the other written in C generate same set of XML.
Both application can share the same XSL layout file.

In JSP model, the layout (jsp) file may contain method calls
into the Java application. This assumes your application supports
Java.
