Inside my database I have a table with a long list of items.
I need to show this items inside a JSP, but the table would be too long, so I want to give the possibility to a user to select a character or more and then the JSP shows inside itself a table of items which begin with that/those character/s.
The shown table must be a form where the user can insert a value in one or more rows and then submit those values.

How can I do this?

If I were tackling this, I would use the java server faces framework with jboss's rich server faces. I think the tag you'd want to look into would be the rich:suggestionBox.

However, if you don't want to use the additional frameworks, then it would require a fair amount of complicated AJAX. :(
