<p>Congratulations!  You've decided to (or been told to) learn how to
 | 
						|
build web applications using servlets and JSP pages, and picked the
 | 
						|
Tomcat server to use for your learning and development.  But now what
 | 
						|
do you do?</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>This manual is a primer covering the basic steps of using Tomcat to
 | 
						|
set up a development environment, organize your source code, and then
 | 
						|
build and test your application.  It does not discuss architectures or
 | 
						|
recommended coding practices for web application development,
 | 
						|
or provide in depth instructions on operating the development
 | 
						|
tools that are discussed.  References to sources of additional information
 | 
						|
are included in the following subsections.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The discussion in this manual is aimed at developers who will be using
 | 
						|
a text editor along with command line tools to develop and debug their
 | 
						|
applications.  As such, the recommendations are fairly generic -- but you
 | 
						|
should easily be able to apply them in either a Windows-based or Unix-based
 | 
						|
development environment.  If you are utilizing an Interactive Development
 | 
						|
Environment (IDE) tool, you will need to adapt the advice given here to
 | 
						|
the details of your particular environment.</p>

    <i>JavaServer Pages (JSP) Specfication, Version 2.0</i>.  Describes
 | 
						|
    the programming environment provided by standard implementations
 | 
						|
    of the JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology.  In conjunction with
 | 
						|
    the Servlet API Specification (see below), this document describes

    what a portable API page is allowed to contain.  Specific
 | 
						|
    information on scripting (Chapter 6), tag extensions (Chapter 7),
 | 
						|
    and packaging JSP pages (Appendix A) is useful.  The Javadoc

    <i>Servlet API Specification, Version 2.4</i>.  Describes the

    programming environment that must be provided by all servlet

    containers conforming to this specification.  In particular, you
 | 
						|
    will need this document to understand the web application

    directory structure and deployment file (Chapter 9), methods of
 | 
						|
    mapping request URIs to servlets (Chapter 11), container managed
 | 
						|
    security (Chapter 12), and the syntax of the <code>web.xml</code>
 |

    Web Application Deployment Descriptor (Chapter 13).  The Javadoc

    chapters on servlet and JSP design are useful even when your application

    does not require other J2EE platform components.
