It is pretty easy to make JSP and XML work together. All you need to do is include at the top of the jsp page this line:
<% response.setContentType("text/xml"); %>
From that point forward, everything will be "considered" xml. You can use any jsp code inside of this xml document.
Example:

<% response.setContentType("text/xml"); %>
<%!
    String firstname = "Bart";
    String lastname = "Tubalinal";
    String email = "[e-mail]";
%>
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<ADDRESSBOOK>
   <FULLNAME>
     <FIRSTNAME><%= firstname %></FIRSTNAME>
     <LASTNAME><%= lastname %></LASTNAME>
   </FULLNAME>
   <EMAIL><%= email %></EMAIL>
</ADDRESSBOOK>

The only thing that you need to make sure of is that the document follows xml rules (well-formed and valid, if a dtd/schema is specified).
Note: This is not specifically for JRun, this should work using any JSP container.
