One way is ... The client html page (with the form) submits to a jsp page which updates the database

<form action="processForm.jsp" method="post">
...
...
</form>

processForm.jsp updates the database and redirects to the approriate page using RequestDispatcher

String dropDownVal = request.getParameter("dropdown");
String url = dropDownVal + ".jsp";
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher(url);
response.resetBuffer();
rd.forward(request,response);
return;
