   Good Idea. I have done the similar thing, but replaced <% with some other tags as it will confuse the server side JSP engine.

   This is definately very important for AJAX development, as AJAX usually transfer data from server, we need a template engine to render the data for presentation to avoid mix the template logic inside the javascript code. JSP template provides a very clean seperation, at the same time, it still proivdes full power of a programming language.

   I found it’s much simpler to implement this kind of engine compare to using java language as javascript is a dynamic language which provides a handy “eval()” method.
