your general concept here:

validate page parameters

is valid -> redirect to processing page

display form
 display default values for fields
 display form hints for invalid data

if you don't have time to learn/implement this you might want to consider 
outsourcing your problem.

typically one would use a tag library to do this.

Any web site references? I'm pressed for time so can't wait for item to be
shipped and no local bookstores have it in stock...

Also, if I am to have my JSP form post back to itself to validate, I would
need to employ Java Beans for this - is that correct?

Sorry - I'm a newbie :)

Thanks!
