Hi,
Am very new to java and servlets as well, want to develop a small application in servlets. I've downloaded j2sdkee1.3.1 from sun site. I didn't find any API of servlets in this package. Can anybody pls help me and mail me the S/Ws required and how to configure to run java servlets.
I think if you want to start working with this technology then it is good to set your environment in for that purpose which might include :
1. installing JDK version 1.4 is good enough
2. install Web container such as an apache tomcat, or any other.
3. there is some documents for configuration and compiling that comes with the web container which helps you very much in this process.
I personally started JSP and servlets using a very good book ( core Servlets and Java server Pages), it is free online at http://www.coreservlets.com and all you need on how to develop, compile, packigize, and run your web apps is explained in details in the mentioned book, I really recommend you to check it out.
hopefull you will find it very useful.

orion server is one of the easiest jsp / servlet engines to get working.... you can download it from http://www.orionserver.com
it's written in Java and by default everything runs in a directory called "default-web-app" ... you can put your jsp's in there and your servlets in WEB-INF/classes and have fun!
For running jsp and servlets - Check this out.

Only 750k !!!
I have found this relatively obscure tool to be an invaluable asset
while developing jsp and servlets. Not only is it a good testing tool,
but also provides a good debugging by sending error messages to
standard out.
Best of all - under 1 Meg. The other products can't even compare with
this. And this is from Sun !!
