Here's a breakdown that may help. This is the
Servlets forum, and the questions you'd ask here are questions about how to program and use Java Servlets. The
JSP forum is similar, but relates to Java Server Pages.
General Java GUI questions should be asked in the
Swing/JFC/AWT forum, and questions about Java
Applets and how they communicate with Servlets or JSP's (or non-Java servers like CGI) are best asked in the
Applets forum.
We're not the type to "flame" you if you make the wrong choice - though if it's truly out of place, the bartender may move your question to a more appropriate forum. More important is that we ask that you not cross-post, since that clutters the forums up and doesn't benefit you either.
Thanks for asking, though - it shows intelligence and consideration.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
