QUESTION POSED ON: 16 December 2005
I would like to find out how to handle the following situation: I retrieve data from the database by calling JavaBean and return the data back to the same JSP page, and then I display those values using HTML/javascript in the dropdown listbox.

How can I get the value selected by the user (to be used in java -- as a condition -- for retrieving data from the database) without submitting the form? I have many fields in that form and each field is required to check whether the data exist in the database, and then retrieve other data to be displayed in another field in the form.

You can add Javascript on the Web page for the field event onChange. You can then execute your code in the page. To NOT submit a form BUT hit an iSeries database from a Web page, look at embedding an applet easily as a hidden control on the page. It can open a separate pipe back to the iSeries to easily send and receive data on.
