I am not a Java pro. I need to enable my completed java applications to ONLINE-Versions. Kindly give me the simplest way.
I have tried to go the JSP and Servlet way, but seems exceedingly tiresome,there surely ought to be a direct way.

When you use a typical web application what do you think is happening? You're in a browser and it's displaying some pages. You click around and some server does some work, for example Amazon shows you a list of books you could buy, the server is passing data to the browser for it to display.
That's a big difference from your current Java Application where everything is happening in the same computer.
This split between the UI part of the application, in the Browser, and the server part that's doing the real business is one reason why Web programming is so different from simple Java programming.
Servlets and JSPs are the traditional Java way of doing things, but modern web apps make much greater use of JavaScript for all the UI and all the Java (or any other server technology) does is provide the data displayed by JavaScript.
Bottom line: Sorry, but there is a whole lot more to learn. My recommendation would be to grit your teeth and forget about what you've done so far and start studying JavaScript and HTML.

I was given the task - to create a simple JAVA EE web-application that have the following functionality:
It had an index page
I choose an algorithm and enter parameters for it on index page
Depending on chosen algorithm a statistical .csv file will be processed on its own way.
After processing the .csv file in compliance with entered parameters and chosen algorithm I get a table where I can find processed data.
I know that it's a very simple application but I don't know what to do - architecture, what kind of web layer and etc
If you install Apache Tomcat on your computer, and then run it, you will find a lot of simple examples, many of which will come close to what your are asking. Plus, once you install it, you have a server on which to run your new code. I would recommend you start there.
Apache Tomcat
I would say that if you really want simplicity, you go with just Servlets for the server-side processing, and JSP pages for the HTML views. I know, it's "vintage" almost, but will get you running in no time and without the need for any special "architecture" or framework besides the servlets API.
You can build your app as a War file with the tool of your choice and deploy it in a Tomcat server and that's it.

I'm not sure if the title says what I needed. But that's the best way I can put it.
My requirement: I want to check if a series of engine numbers (of vehicles) are registered with the local transportation authority. They have provide a web-interface for this task, but I can only check for a single engine number at once. Usually I need to check over 200 numbers. So, its a humongous task to check each one individually.
A couple of years ago, I have created a small standalone python script to do this automatically using web scraping, but now I want to do this on a server.
A user gives all the numbers in the text file which they upload/paste the contents in to a text field. Then I'll have to submit the form on the transportation website (using web scraping) for each number and display a final status for all of them.
What I want to know is how to do this on a server? What technologies could be helpful. I'm comfortable with Java & JavaScript. I don't know PHP (But i can learn if needed). I don't have slightest Idea how to do this on server side. Any Ideas and Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Java has a library called JSoup, which provides a mostly-familiar api that uses css selectors.
And obviously there are built-in functions that can get you the html from a given URL.
Put those together and you've got a server-side scraper
[edit]
Your question, on a re-read, isn't just about scraping -- it's about how to automatically submit an html form from within Java to an external server. This is an interesting question, one I've wondered myself.
this may be an answer: How to send post form with java?

I'm a student who work part-time at a start-up, which runs a website made with JSP.
We are planning an android app in this summer and I'm considering developing it with Python, which I'm interested in.
However, the service provided by the app is supposed to be added to the website made with JSP later. I'm afraid the difference of the language would cause any obstacle.
Since they will use a common database, I think using different languages to access it won't have any problem. I want to make sure that my guess is correct.
Pardon my poor English. I'd appreciate your answers.
I would recommend building the API services in the current language used by your start-up. If resources are limited, the company may not wish to maintain services in another language.
Though I would not recommend this, it is definitely possible for you to develop the portions of your Android application in Python and use a different language for the API services (assuming you are willing to use Python libraries like Kivy).
This will allow you to code a chunk of your application logic in Python.
To consider:

Native Android apps are developed using Java.

You will need to create an API that communicates between Android and your database.

I want to make HTML website of course using CSS etc. But instead of using php for dynamic functions I would like to use Java. I have heard that there are plenty of web frameworks as Spring etc.
The problem is always when I search for tutorial - How to make java web? It shows me results with - web application, applet, servlet, JSP. I can't find short simple answer explaining how to start with that and what is the right thing to start with.
Would you mind telling me what should I use to make what I want? Just some short answer explaining what is what for. I remind you: I want to do some dynamic stuff on web based on Java instead of PHP.
EDIT:
I know I have to use dedicated server with Tomcat probably I am just looking for way to start. Should I start with the framework or?
I personaly only used Thymeleaf tutorials to learn about java-web and I'm satisfied with them, it has good-explained tutorials but it mostly teaches you how to process html templates with java.
If you do not want to follow thymeleaf tutorials, you should search for JAVA EE or JSP tutorials on either google or youtube, both provide well explained video tutorials for beginners
For my webserver I used tomcat which is easy to use and good with debugging. I recommand it
EDIT: A web application may have one or more jsps (java server pages). Servlets are requests from the browser to the jsp.
You must have VPS or Dedicated Server to use, because shared web hostings doesn't support languages like Java, C, C++, Node.JS and so on...

I am designing a JavaSE application that uses the webcam as an IP Cam.
This application has 2 modes
i. Live video stream
ii. Motion Detection Image Capture (When motion is detected it captures a frame and stores it)
I implemented this using JavaCV libraries.
How can I build a web interface to remotely switch between these two modes. And display the Video or Image on the web page.
Also how can I stream the live video to the webpage.
I plan on using PHP.
Any help would be appreciated. I wouldnt mind any links or tutorials.
You have 2 opinions
First you run the Webserver inside the Java Application (this causes no php)
Pros:
User Friendly
Simple if you use an embedded Servlet Container or similar like the Velocity processor
Cons:
Not easy to access from outside the network
Second you run a webserver somewhere in the internet and the Java Application Streams the Video to the Server
Pros:
Easy to access from the outside
PHP available
Cons:
You need to implement to things
For the streaming part, I have no good idea at the moment - maybe try something like vlcj.
