    This will escape the xml tags so the browser does not try to display them
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

 ......
<c:out value="${Result}" />

    The output will not be pretty, just whatever is in the string, but I gather what you want is just to display the raw xml?

    I would have said no, you would have to use XSLT to format the XML. You learn something new everyday. :)

    But if the CSS method hussey suggests works ok then that will make it alot easier.

    If you cannot get the CSS method working this code sample shows how to use a basic XSLT Tramsformation in a JSP page (Basic XSLT has a small learning curve but it is not too complicated).
