set the values you get on servlet to attributes in request.
eg. request.setAttribute("frstTxt", request.getParameter("abcTxt"));

and on jsp you can write:
<input type="text" name="abcTxt" <% if(request.getAttribute("frstTxt")!=null){%>
readonly value="<%=request.getAttribute("frstTxt")%>" <%}%> >

Hi, it worked fine...it is displaying, but, i have a few fields in my form [ ex: date,time ] where i am displaying the current date and time automatically by default when a user logs in, and if desired he is allowed to change, so at any cost those values would be displayed, also, the field would never be equated to null to satisfy that condition,
How can i handle this?

You are not at all clear what you wanna do. But for prepopulating data, the way I told you will work. Now if it gets from database then set the values as attributes. Search for those attributes on the page. if not found then populate it with current date and time.
