what you are doing is not a best practice you should write business logic in java
try Struts 2 it is quite easy to learn and very effective in developing any kind of application in very short time.

What Desi-Tek told is right. What you are doing is completely bad way of doing it and IMHO it is a reason you are stuck. Even if you don't want to use any framework, I'd suggest you to read up on MVC architecture. It will make your life a breeze once you learn.

A simple MVC for your case would be writing a servlet, which invokes quiz validation code from another simple class. All JSPs can post to this servlet and the servlet should dispatch to appropriate JSP after validation.

I personally like not using frameworks for simple apps and for complex apps I prefer JSF.
