Java developers

Did LJ just burp, or was that prior post about ternary operators deleted intentionally by the author?

So, I have a web application written almost entirely in Java Servlets.

What I'd like to do is move to a modular screen design; something that allows me to bring together modules at a high level, instead of in low-level code, and rewriting the same screens every time.

Any suggestions, or technologies I should be looking at?

Is there a simple way to use JPasswordField when calling JOptionPane.showInputDialog(message)? I mean, I know how to achieve that using some additional lines of code, but perhaps there is a very simple way?
