You kight want to get some decent example code,then edit that to get you
started. If you have either of the O'Reilly books (servlet programming or
JSP) then download thier example code. The JSP code certainly works just by
unpacking under tomcat. You can then just edit/view thier simple examples to
start getting to know it.
For basic Java tutorial, Bruce Eckels has an online book called Thinking In
Java - which you can download for free.
