What do I need to start a server?

Hello,
I am an interested college student and I would like to make a test application server on my PC to basically just learn the JSP technology and possibly host a personal site on it. I have had a year of Java in high school, however we only really worked on desktop apps. I want to know what specific applications I need that I can download for free from the Sun site to accomplish this task. I have downloaded Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8 and definitely will use Studio Creator. I have used NetBeans in the past (I realize Netbeans is more for desktop apps and the Studio Creator is for web stuff), but it confused me with the amount of features which gives me a strong feeling that I only dabbled in watered down (newbified) techniques in my class (for ex: the use of BreezySwing). I know I could definitely read Documentation for years straight without any problem, but I want to just jump in and do! Any tips on where I can learn more condensed, concept-based info instead of detailed, confusing, long listing?
Thanks in advance,
Shaun

Rather than going with the sun application server, I would recommend you get a hold of Jakarta Tomcat.
It also is free, and is a good place to start with web programming.
With Tomcat you can jump straight into servlet/JSP programming, without worrying about EJB, JMS, javamail... and all the other extra stuff that is part of the J2EE spec.
You can find Tomcat here: http://tomcat.apache.org
Setting it up: http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/
The Tomcat docs are fairly good. I recommend you read this tutorial on setting up web applications: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/index.html

    kichat: FAQ 1 - What do I need to start in iChat ?
    Answers to very basic questions of getting started in iChat AV 2.1. (Edit 5/5/05) It mostly goes for iChat 3 as well.
    Redrafted 30/03/2007
    Glossary
    Audio is sound only chats (called Talk on AIM )
    Video is Sound and Pictures (where cameras and microphones allow)
    account name is synomonous (the same as) with screen name
    Basic Facts
    iChat AV 2.0 did come with Panther and at this point is free. (Upgrade to 2.1)
    iChat 3 comes with Tiger and supports Multiple person chats
    You can chat to AIM based services as long as one of you has a camera. (Currently audio only chats are not possible). Windows users have to running one of the XP incarnations and AIM 5.5 at least to Video.
    What you Need
    OS 10.3.x for iChat AV 2.1
    iChat ver 2.0 or 2.1 (Now Panther only)
    OS 10.4.x for iChat 3.x
    DV input device (camera or DV converter for analogue cameras) See also Exceptions further down.
    Free Firewire port (not daisy chained)

    How to make Exceptions Work
    Slow Mac or USB cam prior 10.4.9 or non USB Video class cam
    1) Slow (G3/500 and less) computers and those with USB cams need this utility
    iChatUSBCam which enables slower machines to connect and enables USB cameras to be seen by iChat. (lower limit 350Mghz)

    Note 1 should read:

    This site has an Apple Related Area in the Technical section which I have linked you to. It is searchable.

    How to Start

    If you launched it before and are starting again make sure iChat is off line.
    Go to Preferences in the iChat Menu item. Open the Acounts icon.
    Select the type of account it is.
    Type in your name (without the @mac .com suffix) and use tab key to enter password.
    Server Options button (Server Settings tab in iChat 3.x) should be live at this point. Check that it reads login.oscar.aol.com and the port is 5190.
    Close Server Options and hit enter.
    iChat should now log on.
    In iChat 3.x there is a check box in the accounts Information tab that says "Use this Account" to be checked to activate it.
    Buddies
    You now have to enter Buddies into the Buddies list
    Use the "+" button at the bottom of the Buddy list window.
    Add New Person or from your address book if you have recorded Buddies account names there.
    The first account names you should add are the test accounts shown In Contact Testers or the FAQ here.

  • I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, it shows only the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over

    Help........
    I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, when I start the program it only shows the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over - what have I done wrong

    Don't quite understand what you mean, but it says at the bottom that you are still using iWeb 08 so depending on what OSX you are running, you might consider upgrading to iWeb 09.  This works with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
    Apple no longer sells iWeb so if you decide to upgrade, then you'll need to purchase iWeb by going to Amazon and buying the iLife 09 or 11 boxed sets, both of which contain iWeb 09.
    Install this on your Mac and it might solve your problems, or just ditch iWeb and start again with one of the newer programmes out there that are still being supported and updated, such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4, WebAcapella 4 and EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

  • What do I need to start leaning how to make custom Portfolio temlates?

    I am trying to find out what I would need to do to make my own custom PDF Portfolios. I keep hearing that this is possible but sure can't find much in the way of documentation on just how to do it.
    I have read that they can be created using Flash or Flex 3.0. I have not worked with ActionScript before so I thought I would start there and learn Flash and ActionScript. I have found some books that can teach me this.
    I have been trying to find documentation that will show how do create a PDF Portfolio but have been unsuccessful so far.

    Go to the Acrobat Developer Center and under the section 'Acrobat 9 SDK available for download' posted on Aug 18th, there is a link to a form you can fill out to get more information.

  • What do I need to start developing apps?

    Hello good people of the internet! I have a question about how I would start to develop apps for iOS, so I decided to come to the source.
    Here's my backround. I grew up with PC's and I love tinkering with things. I'm a PC gamer who loves to mod games and screw around with those kind of things. I'm a college student studying Aerospace Engineering, but I have pretty much no coding background. I have a PC laptop (2 year old Toshiba Qosmio), an iPhone 4s (in the shop because the battery's rusted), and an iPad Air. I am eager to learn to make iOS app because it is a skill that particularly interests me and it looks like fun.
    My question is, what do I need to do to start developing apps. I know I need a Mac, so what Macs have enough horsepower to develop apps? What coding language(s) do I have to learn? Where can I learn said coding language(s)? Where do I get the app development software, and how much does it cost? How do I get my finished apps onto the App Store?
    I thank the good people of this forum who have taken the time to view my question, and I give even more thanks to those who respond.
    Grazie mille!
    -Matt

    Any recent Mac will work.

  • What do I need for Oracle Http Server with mod_plsql on Linux 64bit?

    I am trying to get the OHS onto a linux box but I am not quite sure I am installing the correct thing!!
    I currently have a windows box running the 10g Application server but everything seems to have changed since then and there seems to be several different things to do with the Fusion Middleware and stuff. I've tried to find an overview in plain english of what all these things are but all I can find are lots of marketing buzzwords!
    All in need to to be able to run the OHS with the mod_plsql so I can run my apex application. I'd be greatfull if someone could point me in the right direction for what I need to install!
    The box it is going on is a CentOS Linux 64bit machine. I've download and installed Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Rel 1 (10.3.3) using the generic installer for the 64 bit java but there seems to be no http server despite it saying there is! Most likely I am doing something wrong but the installer finishes successfully but nothing is running on port 7001.
    Do I actually need the WebTier instead? Is that the best solution for running the OHS with mod_plsql? Do I need the WebLogic install as well? Unfortunately I am fairly new to Linux as well which isn't helping!!
    thanks for any help
    Robert

    Well, you have two options:
    - Use the OHS from the OFM WebTier Utilities distro. (To use 11.1.1.3 version, you need both the 11.1.1.2 and 11.1.1.3 distros)
    - Use the OHS from the DB Companion Disk distro.
    WebLogic Server is a Java EE application with an HTTP server included, but not intended to be used as a replacement of OHS/Apache. It doesn't support mod's...

  • What do i need to start work with Beehive?

    What utilities should i use to work with Beehive? As i see it is impossible to manage team work in beehive only via web-interface, as it was possible in OCS - am i right?
    The web-interface is rather poor, what is its purpose?
    Should i use a lot of different clients to work in Beehive on team project:
    administrative task in beectl utility, and the work in Internet Explorer + SmartFTP + Mozilla Sunbird + Mozilla Thunderbird + Pidgin?
    Or for work with all beehive options i must nesessarily use Microsoft Outlook?
    Thank you.

    Hello
    web interfaces are due to future releases, in the near future for some functionalities, farther for some others. Beehive releases are supposed to occur quite often, you should expect more soon.
    For now, if you wanna start and evaluate the platform, you can use MSOutlook indeed, of a bunch of free clients (Mozilla, ...). But beehive is much more powerful than what you get through those interfaces.

  • What do I need for this?

    I would to write some code where a web surfer would
    enter in some data (criteria) that would be sent to a
    web server where the criteria would be used to cut
    a small section of a large image file and send that
    smaller image back to the end users browser.
    What do I need to start development (simple & quick)?
    Are there java components that need loaded on the
    server for this to happen?
    Will applets do what I want?
    Thanks!

    Certainly you will want some sort of processing to take place on the server. Otherwise, all the server could do is stupidly send the entire image file. It sounds like servlets or CGI we what you want to use.
