Just put the "$Revision: $" into your source code, and if it is a jsp
page, add echo "<!-- last build at `date` -->" >>the.jsp so it changes.
You may play with tail so that you just replace the last line in the
file with that time stamp. And have some Java utility to parse the
revision number from the string "$Revision: 2020$"

  s.split(":")[1].replace('$',' ').trim();

So there. The page always will have the latest revision from version
control in it.
