| <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
 | |
|     API Documentation is included in the specification, and with 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>
 | |

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