Please note the keywords "some validation added on the submit event and on
successful validation forward it to the servlet ".
Based on the above context my reply was Javascript. As in my opinion that
was one of the only ways out. (I'll luv to know about others !)
With regards to the pros and cons of using Javascript there is a lot that
can be argued but thats not what the orignal query was.
Hope thats clarified things once and for all :-).
Have a nice day.
