Let’s say you want to start learning JSP with a thorough understanding of an IDE. For that, the procedure is easy; you can go with NetBeans IDE and Eclipse IDE. These two IDEs are widely used and here we are going to discuss about beginning with JSP on NetBeans IDE.
We shall not consider the default server under NetBeans IDE i.e GlassFish. Instead we shall use Apache Tomcat Server for the same purpose. Before we start the actual process, let us see the technologies which we shall use to accomplish our purpose.
IDE: IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment that consists of a source code editor, a debugger, and builds automation tools. The most popular multiple-language IDEs include Eclipse, NetBeans and Visual Studio.
NetBeans IDE: It is a free and open-source development platform written in Java. It provides multi-language support.
Java: It is a programming language developed by James Gosling and as a software platform it was initially released on 23 January 1996.
Java Server Pages: Java Server Pages or JSP is a server-side programming technology to create web applications.
Apache Tomcat Server: It is an open-source web server that implements various Java EE specifications: Java Servlet, JSP, Java EL, and WebSocket. It was initially released in 1990 and developed by the Apache Software Foundation.
