Input elements should be organized by a logical group so that your brain can process the form layout in chunks of related fields.” –HTML: the Definitive Guide
It is quite rare in the Web application that doesn’t even make an extensive use of its forms for data input and configuration. But not all the Web applications use their forms consistently.

1. Servlet – A servlet is a web component, managed by a container, that generates dynamic content. Servlets are small, platform independent Java classes compiled to an architecture neutral byte code and can be loaded dynamically into and run by a web server. Servlets interacts with web clients thru a request response paradigm implemented by the servlet container. This model, the request response  is based on the behavior of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

2. JSP – Java Server Pages are text files that contain text to be output (usually HTML or some such) and special directives, actions, scripting elements, and expressions that are used to generate results dynamically. Java Server Pages are textual components. They go through 2 phases: 1. a translation phase, and 2. a request phase. The Translation is done once per page. Then the request phase is done once per request. The translation phase occurs when Resin takes a look at the JSP page, reads it in, and creates a Servlet. And this needs to be done once only.

This particular program is known to frustrate users seeing that it is far from being simple and easy to navigate. There are times when certain online applications could be made out using Flash but we all know that has its own dominion that is not a part of other web sites.
Flash offers a wider range of designs and is much more fun to make use of but because of its isolation, it is often rendered to be very limited in terms of functionality.
