That isn't a Java specific technique, in fact there is no way to do it
with just servlets ... you would need some kind of client side code,
probably JavaScript, to add/change information already on the page ...
additionally a form submit will be a new request.

If you are looking to reduce the amount of bandwidth used, you might want
to look under 'bandwidth reduction', you may find something there, but
there is no partial page reloading unless you use JavaScript to modify the
DOM, which is pretty hairy stuff if you want portability.
