You can do that in a servlet like in the Logout.java example, or if you have to use a JSP, you can put the code in JSP scriptlet. In the case of Lab 1, you don't have to kill the session though. On the page that shows the grade, add a link "Start Over". When this link is clicked, it sends a parameter to set currentTestEntryIndex to 0 so a user can "start over".
