How can i create a browser component in J2ME which can display web pages inside an application? Is there any API available for this ? or is this really possible ?

The only portable way to display a web page in the browser is with:
MIDlet.platformRequest(String URL);
On some mobile, this will terminate the J2ME application though.

I don't want to close the application. I want to know whether any view component(like Form ,List) is available to display the web pages inside the application itself .Like iPhone is having UIWebWiew ,android is also having component similar to this

The Content handling API is what you're looking for.
That's JSR 211.
Unfortunately, to do what you want, you would need to find a handset that contains an implementation of JSR211 that is both complete and correct.
That doesn't exist yet as far as I know.
The only J2ME emulator that I know that may allow you to launch a web browser window (outside of a MIDlet) is the Nokia Series60 emulator. That doesn't have a complete implementation of JSR 211.

Unfortunatley there are no built-in components in Java ME to render html.

As far as I know, the only browser written in J2ME is Opera Mini (not to get confused with Opera Mobile, which is a different thing). It runs amazingly good even on very low end phones, but most of the HTML handling is done on a special server that Opera hosts, and the client gets optimizes, preformatted, binary data to display.
Doing everything on the phone using Java might be hard or even impossible. You'd be able to code up a browser that displays very basic HTML pages, but doing it right even for more complex pages seems to be impossible on J2ME because of the limited memory and CPU.
I could imagine that some high end phones come with a custom API to embed a native browser into you Midled, but the standart J2ME definitely does not have this.
