You can have the sevlet return a html page which has an onload event
handler. Onload="window.parent.FillTable(ResultSet_JavaScriptObject)". Kind
of CallBack.
The Servlets return page can have code to contruct the result set as an
array of javascript objects(which will happen when the response html page
is loaded in the client browser.) And you can load the Servlet into a hidden
frame.
This solution is based on the assumption that the client has Frames
capability.
Hope it helps

Yes. You can do form.submit().

No. Servlet responses are sent back to the browser through the
HttpServletResponse object. The browser interprets what it gets as
an HTTP
compliant response. There's no way to return an object to a
Javascript function.
You can use the servlet to populate the form fields and send the
entire page
back.
