I'm doing something like that with a file I have open now. You could
do this in the actual jsp page where the form is submitted to or you
could have this in a java bean. In this case I have a vector that
stores PhoneInfo objects and i read the data from there. I posted
what I think you want after the top example.

                try
                {
                        File f = new File("some full path to your file.txt");
                        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
f.getPath(), false ));
                        Iterator iter = information.iterator();
                        while( iter.hasNext() )
                        {
                                pi = (PhoneInfo)iter.next();

bw.write(pi.getFirstName()+"\t"+pi.getLastName()+"\t"+pi.getNumberOne(
)+"\t"+pi.getOther()+"\t"+pi.getEmail()+"\n");
                        }
                        bw.close();
                }
                catch(IOException e)
                {
                        System.out.print("Error writing file "+e );
                }

Yours might look something like this...

try
                {
                        File f = new File("some full path to your file.txt");
                        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
                        f.getPath(), false ));
                bw.write(
request.getParameter("firstName")+"\t"+request.getParameter("lastName"
) +"\t"+ etc etc);

                        bw.close();
                }
                catch(IOException e)
                {
                        System.out.print("Error writing file "+e );
                }
