Hello, 
I am learning JSP and have done quite a few examples from the Core Servlets
and JSP book. 
I apologize for asking this q here, but I am trying to learn Tomcat and put
my whole picture together, and I figured that
the people on this line, would probably know what these lines mean.
Anyway, I keep typing these few lines but really don't have a grasp of what
they are doing. 
I would really like to understand in a 'Laymans' fashion what I am doing and
what these lines do. 
public class Hello extends HttpServlet { 
//I am assuming that the class Hello, that I am creating 
// is extending HttpServlet class? 
// but what does the extends really mean? 
public void doGet(HttpServlet request, 
HttpServlet response) 
throws ServletException, IOExcedption; 
// It looks like I am creating? or calling? a method here. And am I passing
it the HttpServlet class? 
I am very confused on this, and would enjoy hearing from someone that
wouldn't mind going over that with me. 
Thanks very much, 
Sincerely 
Scott
