Appendix C. JSP and Tomcat Primer
This appendix describes some essential concepts of JavaServer Pages (JSP) programming, which is used earlier in this book beginning with Chapter 17. The necessary background is fairly extensive, which is why the material is presented here in a separate appendix rather than breaking up the flow of that chapter. The topics discussed here are:
A brief overview of servlet and JSP technologies
Setting up the Tomcat server
Tomcat’s directory structure
The layout of web applications
Elements of JSP pages
For pointers to additional information about JSP pages, servlets, or Tomcat, see Appendix D.
