How to call a java method from jsp by clicking a menu in html page?

Question

I wrote a server program in java but in order to give an interface with web i want to access java method in jsp when certain menu button is clicked. How can i do this?

Answer 1

you cannot do this directly because JSP is server side and html is client side. However, it can be accomplished via AJAX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)
