you can set data for display into session scope.

Most implementations I have seen do this via JavaScript. For examples, see the "Pop-up Picker" example here

Setting data in the session is something I would not recommend doing in this situation. You'd have to submit the data in the popup window, then force the parent window to refresh itself. Not pretty.

HI,
I have a jsp page(jsp1) with 4 text fields and 3 buttons at bottom.

3 of the text fields have images next to them.
For example: for 1 text field, when user clicks on that image next to it(in jsp1), a jsp page(jsp2) pops up with some information. User clicks on the name from the list by selecting radio button there and presses 'select' on that pop up jsp2 page. After select is pressed the name chosen is to be displayed in the text box of jsp1. Any idea how to do this?

I always cringe a little when I see statements like "a JSP page pops up". You have get it clear in your mind that a JSP is really just a convenient way of writing a servlet. As such, a JSP page never pops up because a servlet doesn't pop up. Servlets and JSPs are server-side components. A popup window is a client side entity. Ne'er the twain meet. I prefer to say you "bring up a JSP in a popup window" or to be more technically correct, you "bring up the results of invoking a JSP in a popup window" but that's a little too wordy.

At any rate, the solution to your problem would be the same as the one I pointed out above.
