Requirements For JSP

Question

What are the basic requirements to get going using JSP?In particular, what do I need to ask/tell my Internet Service Provider and will I be able to build and test the functionality of JSP locally?
These are very naive questions, but it is incredibly difficult to find this sort of 'basic' info.

Answer 1

A. You need a JDK (like jdk1.3)
B. Yout need Jakarta-Tomcat
(http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.2.1/bin/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1.zip)
1. install jakarta-tomcat in d:\jdk1.3\jakarta-tomcat
2. create catcat.bat
into catcat.bat:
// start of text
set JAVA_HOME=D:\jdk1.3
set TOMCAT_HOME=D:\jdk1.3\jakarta-tomcat
startup
// end of text
3. take catcat.bat into "d:\jdk1.3\jakarta-tomcat\bin" and start it
4. build in "d:\jdk1.3\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\examples"
the folder kennedy
5. take your jsp-Files into the kennedy
6. open your Browser and open "http://localhost:8080/examples/kennedy"
or open "http://localhost:8080
thats it
have fun :-)
