You can use Ajax to hit a servlet to fetch whatever you need.

P.S. As I pointed out in this similar topic this is much easier with the assist of a library such as jQuery.

And, sample code is available. If you download the code for my jQuery book from its web page you'll find examples of creating dynamic dropdowns in the Chapter 8 sample code

You can see the sample code in action here.
