Coder Global Solutions : Java JSP - Servlet Tutorial -- Part 2

JSP in Eclipse

After completed the configuration of Tomcat , now we can try to run a JSP file..

BTW, JavaServer Pages (JSP) are text documents, which are similar to HTML Files. But you find also

java code in the JSP File. JavaServer Pages allow you to mix regular static HTML with dynamic

generated contents of Java code. The java code is inserted in the HTML document on a JSP File,

differently to a servlet, where the HTML code is embedded in the java code.

Creating JSP in Eclipse IDE with Tomcat server

Create a Dynamic web project

start tomcat server and deploy the project
