Migrate

You should download tomcat from http://jakarta.apache.org and you will need the Java Development Kit which can be downloaded from this site. You will probably want an IDE of some sort or at least an editor with code colouring and integration with the compiler. I use Kawa from Allaire for this but if you want a freeware one Jext is very good ( http://www.jext.org ) - it handles lots of languages as well, and it's pure Java.

You will find your basic programming experience with Applets will stand you in good stead. You might want to take a look at http://www.javaworld.com for their tutorials, which are very good. Make sure you are well up on your Object Oriented programming- you don't have to write perfect OO code to write working jsp stuff but it does make life a lot easier.

I have used O'Reilly's books as well, Java in a Nutshell is the single most essential programming book I own.

Good luck with it.
