Summary

The Tomcat server is a great platform for learning JSPs, servlets, and Web services programming. In this tutorial, you have learned how to:

  • Download and install your own Tomcat server.
  • Deploy and undeploy applications using Tomcat Manager.
  • Create a JSP-based application and execute it on the Tomcat server.
  • Create a Web application with a servlet and execute it on Tomcat.
  • Create a Web service and execute it on Tomcat.







Now that you've had some hands-on experience with these tools to develop and run Web applications, you're ready to explore JSP, servlet, and Web services programming further on your own.
