If you want an interactive ssh terminal session then you need an applet.

If this is just a fetch a screen and dump it via ssh then you can use jsp

It's not clear what level of interactivity is required.
If you are doing screen grabs then you can run ssh locally on the server
and keep the key there. If you want a terminal session then you have
bigger problems.
