regarding bogoreh
jsp's are compiled to servlets, so whether you manually code them or not, you'll be using servlets.
Do realize, that a jsp is nothing but the UI. the chatting itself is not (or better: should not) be processed/executed in your jsp, the jsp is just to illustrate the chat.
This should be a multi-layered (possibly with multiple modules) application, not a "let's cram all the code in the jsp file".
Yes, when working with jsp's while your application does have a certain business logic behind it: always use servlets.
