Shyam, a simple google search reveals that you can use something like this

window.external.AddFavorite(self.location,document.title)

to add a bookmark to your browser. You can change the parameters as you want

window.external.AddFavorite("www.mysite.com","Link to my site")

This is of course javascript as you cannot use servlet to add bookmark to a browser...

Thanks for your reply sir. But the bookmark shouldnt be browser level sir. i should be done at application level . say the bookmark pages should not be added in my browsers . it should be added with in the application.Is there a way for this sir?

Argh . Don't call me sir.

Anyways, your requirement don't seem much difficult. But you can only track bookmarks for a user if they are registered to your site. In that way, you can create a database table which will track the bookmarks of the user. When the user adds a bookmark, then you must just send an ajax request or a normal request to the server to add the current page to the database. If the user is not registered, then too you can track their bookmarks by storing them in HttpSession object but the bookmarks will be lost once the session times out...
