sorry for late reply!

Why don't you go for netbeans, you just need to code and then it will do everything for you, like creating war file, ear file e.t.c

For the application server in dreamweaver i never tried it, but just start the default server, then on remote testing just put your URL like http://localhost:8080/JspFile, but bear in mind where the testing server location is, the folder. I used Tomcat, you can follow the instruction as follows: www.gurnah.com/blog

Hope you find you answer

from dream viewer menu select

site -> New

enter the name of the site not url

enter url of the server like folowing(how u r invoking files in the browser)

http://localhost:8080/abc/

next yes server technology select JSP

then select edit and test locally

and browse the root folder

like this

C:\Tomcat\webapps\abc\

in next page again give the url like this

http://localhost:8080/abc/

then click test url button.

i think it will help you

i tested this method with dream viewer 8.

please change your url according to your web application

thank you

Thank you so much its working fine now. Actually I am familiar with PHP, in that case as the IDE i am using DW8.So for the JSP also i need to use the same. It takes time to get familiar with netbeans.Anyway what is the Best among these two.
