Getting Familiar with your JSP server
If you do not have a JSP capable web-server or application server, the
first step is to download one. There are many such servers available, most
of which can be downloaded for free evaluation and/or development. Some of
them are:
TomCat
from Apache (6.7 Megabytes)
WebLogic from BEA Systems (44
Megabytes, JSP, Servlets and EJBs)
WebSphere from
IBM (105 Megabytes, JSP, Servlets and EJBs)
Blazix is used later in this tutorial in the tag library chapter.
To take the best advantage of this tutorial, it recommended that all the
material should be tried out with a real server.
Once you have a JSP capable web-server or application server, you need to know
the following information about it:
-
Where to place the files
-
How to access the files from your browser (with an http: prefix, not as file:)
You should be able to create a simple file, such as
<HTML>
<BODY>
Hello, world
</BODY>
</HTML>
know where to place this file and how to see it in your browser
with an http:// prefix. Since this step is different for each web-server, you would
need to see the web-server documentation to find out how this is done.
Once you have completed this step, proceed to the next tutorial. |
