Configuration of the JSP development environment under Windows

In order to learn JSP development, we must first build a development environment that conforms to the JSP specification. Based on the principle of practicality, this paper introduces 3 kinds of methods of configuring JSP environment with Tomcat server as the core.

Sun's JSP (Java Server Pages) is a dynamic web development technology that executes on the server side, based on Java technology. When executing a JSP, you need to set up an engine that compiles JSP pages on the Web server. There are several ways to configure a JSP environment, but the main task is to install and configure the Web server and the JSP engine.

The following is the use of Tomcat as a JSP engine, with Tomcat, Apache, IIS three kinds of Web servers to tell the 3 kinds of building JSP operating environment scenarios.

Introduction of related Software

1, J2SDK:JAVA2 software development tools, is the basis of Java applications. JSP is based on Java technology, so you must install J2SDK before you configure the JSP environment.

2. Apache server: A common Web server developed by the Apache organization that provides Web services.

3, Tomcat server: Apache development of a JSP engine, itself has the function of a Web server, can be used as a stand-alone Web server. However, when Tomcat handles static HTML pages as a Web server, not as fast as Apache or as robust as Apache, we typically use Tomcat in conjunction with Apache so that Apache can service static page requests for the site, Tomcat, as a dedicated JSP engine, provides JSP parsing for better performance. And Tomcat itself is a subproject of Apache, so Tomcat provides strong support for Apache. For beginners, Tomcat is a good choice.

4, Mod_jk.dll:Apache organization Jakarta Project team developed to enable Apache support Tomcat Plug-ins. With this plugin, Tomcat is able to seamlessly connect to Apache.

5, Tc4ntiis.zip:Apache organization Jakarta Project team developed to enable IIS to support Tomcat Plug-ins.
