Well, if you have JSP on the server then use it to build a fully 
functional application doing what you need. I don't use JSP but Java 
Server Pages I am sure for instance allow you to use XSL or DOM to 
extract data from your XML file and display it as HTML in a browser. 
DSO/ActiveX is platform and browser dependent so you should only look 
into it after your whole application is fully functional so that you 
maybe enhance it for IE. And if you have JSP you do not need JavaScript 
on the server and JavaScript on the client if you have JSP on the server 
should again only be used to enhance the application for those browser 
users who have JavaScript support.
