Simple jsp deployment - does it need weblogic.xml ?

Question

          Hi,
          I am a newbie and trying out a very simple jsp application which connects to Oracle
          for a simple db lookup. This app used to work with Tomcat/ Apache.
          I am trying to deploy it on WLS7.0 . It does not use servlets - only JSPs.
          Could someone tell me what is the minimum level of configuration I need to deploy
          these JSPs to WLS7.0 ?
          Do I need both web.xml and weblogic.xml ?
          Do I need all the parameters in both these files ?
          Thanks a lot !

WLS7.0 Does use servlet you have to register the servlet inside the
          web.xml file for a web application. It looks like this:
          <servlet>
               <servlet-name>testservlet</servlet-name>
               <servlet-class>
                    com.mypackage.MyTestServlet
               </servlet-class>
          <init-param>
          <param-name>EnvironmentFile</param-name>
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/webstore.properties</param-value>
          </init-param>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>testservlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/mytestservlet</url-pattern> <!-- this is the
          name on the url-->
          </servlet-mapping>
