Implementing your very first Java servlet using Eclipse WTP


First, we will explain how to implement servlets using Eclipse WTP, and then we will come around to implementing JSPs later.

Certain aspects of developing web applications using Eclipse WTP are so easy that you may not need to type almost anything. So, if you are really serious about learning how to develop web applications using servlets and JSP, we recommend you to skim through this chapter just to get a feel of how to use WTP, and then take a break from Eclipse altogether and start arranging all the structure of your web applications by hand. That will help you to better understand how this sort of applications are organized and the number of steps Eclipse has graciously automated for you. After getting the gist of how to assemble, develop, and deploy web applications...
