It's been a few years since I've written Java and JSP pages, but there are
no limitations that I'm aware of. You essentially have an html page, with
embedded java scriptlets. Your html can be as accessible as you want, and
anything the scriptlet generates is totally up to you. You can provide
ARIA properties on non-semantic elements from your Java code just as easily
as you can hand-code them in html.
