Servlet Help Needed

hi,I am fairly familiar with .NET and ASP.NET environment. I amnew to Java world, and have been told that the work will bein Apache webserver, Tomcat, and will be using jsp/servlets.So far, I have installed Apache webserver and Java 2 EE. Howdo I get started with servlets and jsp pages? Are servlets andjsp pages same? I am able to code/compile/run java programs.I can't seem to find more information about how to proceed.Most of java docs on sun website seems to concentrate onWeb Services. Is jsp an obsolete technology, and that Ishould concentrate more on web services?Any help to get me started is much appriciated.Thanks,kvarnerexpress

An Apache webserver can not run servlets/jsp's... you need an servlet engine for that, for example Apache Tomcat - http://tomcat.apache.org/

 

The Apache Tomcat has its own built-in webserver, but can also be used in conjunction with the Apache webserver. For developmet I deploy and run applications directly on the tomcat server.

 

There's some ok documentation on the tomcat website. After having installed tomcat try the Application Developer's Guide - it's short and pretty east to follow: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/

 

JSP and Servlets are not the same from a logical point of view, but when Tomcats "sees" a JSP-file it converts it into Java code which is compiled into a Servlet.

Did you install Apache in your web server?. Servlet and jsp actually same. But very different. Have a look this website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ amd you will see the difference. Good luck.
