Find out from addr.com which Servlet API they support, and which Java runtime
they use.
Go to java.sun.com and download the JDK for the same runtime and
the Java Servlet Web Developers Kit to get the Servlet/JSP environment
(javax.servlet.*) packages
Follow the install instructions for both.
Run startserver.bat to bring up the jswdk
Check out http://localhost:8080/servlet/snoop after its running to sanity check
This gives you an environment to build, and test your servlets/jsps
When you are ready to deploy...check with addr.com about where to place your
servlets, jsps, etc...and most importantly what the URL should be to invoke
them.
This should get you started. the jswdk can have somewhat of a learning curve.
If you have specific issues
post them here.

Subject: Just starting out
I'm a student at ASU, and am interested in learning how to
use Java Servlets to process HTML forms. I've signed up
with a web host (Addr.com) that claims they have
support for Java Servlets, but when I try to compile a
basic servlet that I mostly copied out of a book, I
get error messages saying that the servlet
packages that I'm trying to import aren't there.
(I think they were called Javax.servlet, and Javax.servlet.http)
How do I compile servlets on a remote host, and then
execute them from an HTML web-page? If this is
server-dependent, what kind of questions/requests
should I send to my web-hosting support staff?
(I'm pretty sure I'm running off a UNIX-based web server)
