I installed Apache Tomcat on my Windows machine, and it seems like its installed successfuly. I can see the property window, and I can start the server but I don't know what to do next.
Where do I save jsp files at.. do I create a directory or does apache tomcat create its own directories?
that's my only problem.. how do i make and edit files now that its installed

Create the JSP code that you'd like to write in your favorite text editor.
Select "File" and "Save As" from the text editor toolbar. A dialog box appears.
Navigate to the "File name" text field and type the desired file name within quotes. Add a JSP extension to the file name -- for example, "filename.jsp" -- and click "Save."
Put it at location C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.28\webapps\ROOT.
Go to tour browser and enter url "http:// localhost:8080//filename.jsp"

This post will give you description about how you can run your project using Apache Tomcat Server.
I would like to define these terms before proceeding:
Apache Tomcat Server(Jakarta Tomcat): It is an open source web server and servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). It implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications and provides a pure Java HTTP web server environment for java code to run.
JavaServerPages(JSP): It is a technology that helps in creating dynamically generated web pages.
Step1
Install Java.
Step2
Install Apache Tomcat
At the time of installation, it will by-default recognize JRE path.
(under installed java location directory)
Step3
Now Go-To:
Start
Programs
APACHE TOMCAT
MONITOR TOMCAT
Step4
An icon will appear on the taskbar, this icon will automatically appear after following
above step:
Step5
Click on that icon and START TOMCAT, you can see the following dialog box:
Step6
Now open Mozilla Firefox(or any other browser)
Step7
Type[http://localhost:8080/][1] on address bar and press enter.
The same can be seen here:
Step8
It will show tomcat, as shown in above window.
(if not, then try again, may be a problem in installation or you’re not following above
steps correctly
Step9
Now, go to:
C:drive
Programs Files
Apache Software Foundation
tomcat
web-apps
(or navigate where you have installed APACHE TOMCAT)
Step10
Open web-apps and “copy your project” or “make new folder”, which you want to run in JSP.
Example: amit2012PROJECT
Now, go back :
Tomcat
Root
Copy Web-inf from root
Paste this “web-inf” in your project folder i.e. amit2012PROJECT
Step11
Create a text file and name it as first.jsp, use the code shown below:
<html>
<head>
<title>blog post:ApacheTomcatServer</title>
</head>
<body>
<%-- START --%>
<%
out.println("UserName = amit2012, ");
out.println("Running first program in JSP.");
%>
<%-- END --%>
</body>
</html>
It includes HTML tags and encloses a JSP scriptlet which is a fragment of Java code that is run when the user requests the page. Step12
Now for running your folder [ Eg. amit2012PROJECT as shown above]
[http://localhost:8080/][2]foldername.extension in any WebBrowser i.e:
[http://localhost:8080/amit2012PROJECT/first.jsp][3]
The Project will run successfully
Now, you can successfully try running JSP with ApacheTomcatServer.

Folder structure:
Apache-home/webapps/project_name/WEB-INF/classes
all jsp filse should come under project_name folder. and java classes comes under clasess. Also need to put a special file named web.xml in WEB-INF folder.
