Servlet Help Needed

hi,
I am fairly familiar with .NET and ASP.NET environment. I am
new to Java world, and have been told that the work will be
in Apache webserver, Tomcat, and will be using jsp/servlets.

So far, I have installed Apache webserver and Java 2 EE. How
do I get started with servlets and jsp pages? Are servlets and
jsp pages same? I am able to code/compile/run java programs.

I can't seem to find more information about how to proceed.
Most of java docs on sun website seems to concentrate on
Web Services. Is jsp an obsolete technology, and that I
should concentrate more on web services?

Any help to get me started is much appriciated.
Thanks,kvarnerexpress

An Apache webserver can not run servlets/jsp's... you need an servlet engine for that, for example Apache Tomcat - http://tomcat.apache.org/

The Apache Tomcat has its own built-in webserver, but can also be used in conjunction with the Apache webserver. For developmet I deploy and run applications directly on the tomcat server.

There's some ok documentation on the tomcat website. After having installed tomcat try the Application Developer's Guide - it's short and pretty east to follow: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/

JSP and Servlets are not the same from a logical point of view, but when Tomcats "sees" a JSP-file it converts it into Java code which is compiled into a Servlet.

Did you install Apache in your web server?. Servlet and jsp actually same. But very different. Have a look this website http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Servlet-Tutorial/ amd you will see the difference. Good luck.
