[thelist] Newbie - JSP help

[cdj]

Let's see, if you are going to be the one to program this and you don't
know anything about Java, then I suggest you spend the next 6 months
learning that before you take on JSP.

Otherwise, a quick search on google brought this page up:

Good Luck.

Hello all.  Since I am the "real-world" internet guru at work (only
because I have my own websites.),  I have been tasked with getting the
low down on Java Server Pages.  From what I have gathered from the
higher ups, they are wanting to go the .war file route.  That is,
everything compiled into one file and served from that.  I have
downloaded Apache & Jakarta-Tomcat 4.0 and have installed them
successfully.  Everything is working fine and the servers are up and
running.

Here is where the fun begins.  I have no clue as to what to do now.  Can
anyone please help?  I guess what I am asking is can anyone help me with
this?  I know nothing about this and really don't know where to even
begin.  Here are some basic questions I have.....Where are the war files
stored? Why use them? Are there any example war file/programs I can
experiment with?

The tomcat install I installed only has jsp examples and no war files.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
