are there any steps as we have in servlets such as copying html file to public_html and servlet file to servlets directory?

please any one tell me how do i compile and run JSP file.

You don't need to do anything to compile a JSP file. The web server will do it for you. Generally, the server will compile a JSP file when the file is first requested, although some servers allow a proprietary option to precompile all JSP files.

i think you need a good tutorial or a good book. and its better to start work with Tomcat, not because java web server is a HIFI server, but because you will find most of the jsp and servlet examples using Tomcat.

you can find a good book at theserverside.com

i think adeel is right.
there are many other things one need to know other then just running a jsp page like what exactly is a JSP?? etc..
