JSP - Java Server Pages

This web page is dedicated to information on JSP (Java Server Pages). If you have any hotlinks you would like to share with the JSP community, please email me (click on the mailbox at the bottom).

I'd like to create an article that will give all the links and info needed to hopefully setup a mini web server, servlet enginee and sample fundamental JSP's that will run on your local machine hopefully with trial versions for training purposes. Not sure when I'll get to that.
