| [ directory ] |   |
Summary
The first and most important step to developing with Servlets and JSP is setting up the appropriate environment. This chapter focused on providing a detailed explanation of the requirements for a Servlet and JSP environment and provided a walk-through for installing one on a majority of the popular operating systems. By doing this, you will be ready for the code examples of later chapters and can better learn through hands-on experience developing Servlets and JSP.
A Web Application is the term given to a complete collection of static content, JSP, Servlets, custom code, and configuration information for all of the previously mentioned. This chapter also established a Web Application for use with examples to come. As you go through the book, the jspbook Web Application will be expanded and enhanced to demonstrate the many aspects of developing with Servlets and JSP.
Chapter 2 discusses Servlets and JSP at the lowest possible level by introducing and explaining the basics of the Servlet API.
