Is there anything like that links should be given inside(outside) the <form></form> tags. Can form tag be left without any action?

That is not a JSP question, technically, and this is the wrong forum for a JSP question, anyway, there is a JSP forum, that is an HTML question. The real question is, why would you want a form without an action? What purpose would it serve? That is just some food for thought. My advice would be to find an HTML forum.

O.k. i surfed and found that a login.jsp(form based Authentication) page needs some code to be entered in web.xml. I submit my code here.
<html>
<head>
<title>Enter your name and password</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#999966">
<p> </p>
<form method="POST" action="Order.jsp">
<p><font color="#800000" size="5">
Enter your company name:</font><input type="text" name="coname" size="20"></p>
<p><font color="#800000" size="5">
Enter your password:</font><input type="password" name="password" size="20"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
<% String cname= request.getParameter("coname");
String cpwd= request.getParameter("password");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection c=DriverManager.getConnection("Jdbc:Odbc:emp");
Statement s= c.createStatement();
ResultSet r=s.executeQuery("select * from complog where Comp_name="+cname+" ");
while(r.next())
{
String cpwd1 =r.getString(2);
if(cpwd1.equals(cpwd))
{
response.sendRedirect("Order.jsp");
}
%>
</form>
</body>
</html>I felt I have use redirect there which is wrong.

Don't use scriptlets in JSP and use a Connection Pool. And you can't use a "sendRedirect" in the middle of a page anyway. A sendRedirect needs to be the entire page.
Also, form-based authentication is normally handled by the web container itself, you, normally, need only provide an html form and the connection information to the user realm.
