  function GetAllDetails(value) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "post",
            url: "applicationformuser.jsp", //this is my servlet

You ajax code works fine,you just need to get it in jsp code, you can get parameter using request.getParameter() :

<% 
String leavetype = request.getParameter("leavetype");//after get value,you can pass it to query sql.
%>
