Chapter 11. JSP, Servlets, and Eclipse

Introduction

This chapter discusses using Eclipse in web development, specifically with JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Java servlets. We’re going to use the reference web server for JSP and servlets in this chapter—the Tomcat web server that is available for free from the Apache web site. After installing Tomcat and getting it running, we’ll interface Eclipse to that installation, seeing how to edit and install web application files.

Tip

Although we’re using Tomcat in this chapter, everything we’ll do is applicable to any JSP/servlet container.
