Looking to implement a scrollable window with more functionality
than a standard htm textarea, using the JScrollBar swing
component. Is this possible?

You would have to create an applet and imbed the applet in the JSP using the tag.

Note that the user's browser must support Swing... See the Swing FAQ for Q/As about using Swing in applets.

No. While a jsp has embedded Java, the client sees HTML only, so that you are limited to HTML functionality. If you want more, you need to use an applet, Flash, or something along those lines.
