I have searched on this and found something about using remotely hosted JSPs but it was not specific to Spring and I am not quite sure how to make it work with Spring. I have a situation where I need to give access to a designer who will work on the JSPs but I am not allowed to give access to the rest of the source code for the application. I want him to be able to update the JSPs and see results in real time as the application is running as that will take a lot of pressure off of me having to be the intermediary.. any advice is greatly appreciated.
Seems like you are trying to solve the wrong problem.
You should find a way to give the designer isolated access to the JSP directory only, not experiment with wild remoting strategies.
Perhaps set up a script that automatically syncs the designer's JSP directory with the server's whenever changes are made (the actual implementation depends on the platform you are running on).
