I think you just need to search for a tutorial about "Java Servlets" which will show you the basics. You should then read about "Expression Language" for outputting parameter values to the JSP. — Ankur

Learn servlets.

Let the HTML form in the JSP submit to a servlet.

<form action="servleturl" method="post">

In the doPost() method of the servlet class you've all freedom to write Java code the way you want. When the business job is finished, you could store the result in request scope and forward to a result JSP file.

request.setAttribute("result", result);
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/result.jsp").forward(request, response);

In the /WEB-INF/result.jsp you can access the result by EL.

<p>Result: ${result}</p>
