How to run JSP files?

I need to know how to run a JSP file on a webserver. I have experience writing PHP, but for PHP all I have to do is save the file and open it in the web browser. Is there an easy tutorial that will help me understand how to run JSP files for a web site?

Solution 1:

You need to download and install web server like Apache Tomcat on your local machine. You can do it on any IDE also like eclipse.

Solution 2:

First of all you will need a Java web server like Tomcat, Jetty...etc. These will allow your application to run. Second you need to create a web project(WAR), which will contain your servlet's and JSP's.

I suggest you download a good IDE like eclipse or Netbeans(preferably Netbeans if you're new to this) and have a look at the samples they provide or just go and look here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/jsp/index.html

Solution 3:

Servlet and JSP development with Eclipse

Solution 4:

Download an IDE say eclipse.

Download the jdk say jdk1.7

Download a web server say tomcat. Download the binary distribtion from here

Create a dynamic web project in eclipse. Right click on the project , add a new jsp file say test.jsp. Write something in the body tag like "Hello World". Right click on test.jsp and run it on server. There you go!!!
