Java Server Pages Advice

Hi Folks,
Hope your all well,
Im Kind of new to JSP and so far I think I'm doing ok!
However I'm using some of it for my dissertation which is creating an ITAM (IT Asset Management System).
Im looking for some advice on drop down boxes and populating data,
Im wondering which in your opinions is easier:
- having the data for drop down boxes in a database and then calling this information from the tables

- putting the data into an XML file and then calling it from there
- calling the data from the array

the information Im calling is information about laptops desktops and switches
so for example
Supplier: Dell
Make: Latitude
Model: E6410

Naturally these will need to be changeable while the page is in use because if someone changes the supplier naturaly new values will need to be loaded into the make field.

Sorry if the question is somewhat noobish but after doing plenty of research into the different areas I was left at a stumbling block -
Id realy appreciate it if you can provide examples but its not essential - if you need any more information ill happily supply it.

Thanks guys and gals
