8<p>Congratulations! You've decided to (or been told to) learn how to
9build web applications using servlets and JSP pages, and picked the
10Tomcat server to use for your learning and development. But now what
11do you do?</p>
12
13<p>This manual is a primer covering the basic steps of using Tomcat to
14set up a development environment, organize your source code, and then
15build and test your application. It does not discuss architectures or
16recommended coding practices for web application development,
17or provide in depth instructions on operating the development
18tools that are discussed. References to sources of additional information
19are included in the following subsections.</p>
20
21<p>The discussion in this manual is aimed at developers who will be using
22a text editor along with command line tools to develop and debug their
23applications. As such, the recommendations are fairly generic -- but you
24should easily be able to apply them in either a Windows-based or Unix-based
25development environment. If you are utilizing an Integrated Development
26Environment (IDE) tool, you will need to adapt the advice given here to
27the details of your particular environment.</p>

36 <i>JavaServer Pages (JSP) Specification, Version 2.1</i>. Describes
37 the programming environment provided by standard implementations
38 of the JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. In conjunction with
39 the Servlet API Specification (see below), this document describes
40 what a portable API page is allowed to contain. Specific
41 information on scripting (Chapter 9), tag extensions (Chapter 7),
42 and packaging JSP pages (Appendix A) is useful. The Javadoc
43 API Documentation is included in the specification, and with the

46 <i>Servlet API Specification, Version 2.5</i>. Describes the
47 programming environment that must be provided by all servlet
48 containers conforming to this specification. In particular, you
49 will need this document to understand the web application
50 directory structure and deployment file (Chapter 9), methods of
51 mapping request URIs to servlets (Chapter 11), container managed
52 security (Chapter 12), and the syntax of the <code>web.xml</code>
53 Web Application Deployment Descriptor (Chapter 13). The Javadoc
54 API Documentation is included in the specification, and with the
