<!--
I WANT THE SEARCH RESULTS TO BE DISPLAYED HERE IN THIS JSP PAGE.
THIS MEANS THAT, AFTER THE SUBMIT BUTTON IS CLICKED, THE FORM ABOVE WILL NOT DISAPPEAR AND THE SEARCH RESULTS WILL DISPLAY BELOW THE FORM.
-->
the java servlet class will then forward the search parameters(last name, first name....etc.) to a database accessor class and this class will then return an arraylist of all the columns for each row in the database that match the search criteria. Each column of a row is stored as a String object in the arraylist.
what i would like to ask is, what codes should i use in the servlet class, and what codes should i use in the jsp page, in order that, the search results will finally display in <TABLE> format.
please help, thanks a lot~~~~~~~~
