Either approach, although 99% of the time I do a variation on #1 myself.
Still, there are times you might more appropriately do something where no
servlet intervention comes into play. For example, display a page with
selection lists that are derived from a database. The JSP page can handle
the data call and retrieval and then display the results - without having to
forward such info to another page.

> set of rows from the session object is formated and presented to the
> client

> 2:) HTML Form - calls .jsp page - .jsp page uses a bean to process the
> request data - to connect the database - to query the database -
> bean stores the result in session object - and then it is forwarded to
> another .jsp page - which uses the session stored information to format

> present the data.
