Running JSP files....Help needed.....

I am starting to learn JSP, I have downloaded an example from this website: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/...forms/Forms.ZIP

I have got tomcat, version 4.1.18 and it is working. The problem is that I do not know how to run the example that I downloaded. Could anyone please help.....

as servlet and jsp technology is pretty tricky u should get yourself a book about that. there´s a tutorial u can download at
http://java.sun.com
about jwsdp (javawebservicesdevelopmentpack) including tomcat, servlet and jsp
u can have a look at that online, too
cheers, jens

Thanks rayz, i have found the site, http://developer.java.sun.com/devel...es/WebServices/ should be correct right. But I am am sad to say that i dont quite understand what it says, there are alot of things in it and i do not know which are the infomation i need.

i´m facing the same problem for a long while cause i try to learn the same...but it turns out much more complex than coding php or similar...
we have to go thru that, i guess;-), good luck,
jens

Well, first off, I'd suggest starting with a simpler example than the one you downloaded. There are some decent jsp tutorials on devshed.com.

I wouldn't worry about not being able to install that example. It's not a very good one. Whoever packaged it up was, umm..., not thinking clearly.

You might also want to have a look at the examples that come with tomcat (the examples folder). There's some interesting stuff in there.
