How to combinate JSP+Tomcat+mysql??

Question

Hi,guys. My question is as the above subject.
I have installed JDK, Tomcat, mysql, and my OS is WinXP, I am trying to develop a JSP site in my computer.
For JDK, the commands javac, java, ...... work OK;
For Tomcat, http://localhost:8080 works OK, meaning the cat page appears.
For mysql, I can login, and sql statements work OK;
And I download mysql-connector-java-3.1.8a.
What I should do further to combinate JSP+Tomcat+mysql, so my JSP site can work? Any advice?
I need help.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks,duffymo!
As you said, I am learning more about those things.
Actually I am trying to open a JSP webpage to show the connection JSP+Tomcat+mysql works OK.
I copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar to ...Tomcat 5.0\common\lib,
created a datebase, named test in MySQL, and wrote a JSP as the below:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=gb2312" %>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%
//driver
String driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
//username
String userName="test";
//code
String userPasswd="123";
//database
String dbName="test";
//table name
String tableName="mytab";
//connection string
String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/"+dbName+"?user="+userName+"&password="+userPasswd;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection connection=DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
String sql="SELECT * FROM "+tableName;
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSetMetaData rmeta = rs.getMetaData();
int numColumns=rmeta.getColumnCount();
// output
out.print("id");
out.print("|");
out.print("num");
out.print("<br>");
while(rs.next()) {
out.print(rs.getString(1)+" ");
out.print("|");
out.print(rs.getString(2));
out.print("<br>");
out.print("<br>");
out.print("successful!");
rs.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
%>
How can I test the connection JSP+Tomcat+mysql works OK?
Thanks again!
