Create cascading dropdown lists in JSP

JSP

Hi all,

How do I create a JSP front end with 3 cascading or chained dropdown list boxes all of which interrogate a SQL Server database table?

The first dropdown list will have a statement like "select * from column_name" and the value selected in this dropdown will be used in a second select statement which will populate the second dropdown list and the value selected in the second will be used in the select statement for the third etc.

I am completely new to JSP and web development in general. Although I have managed to create a form with the first dropdown list populated with the "select * from column_name" using jstl, but can't find any clear guidance on where to go from here. Can someone provide guidance please? I am using Eclipse Helios.

Thanks in advance.
