Download Tomcat and follow the installation and setup instructions. There is a Tomcat forum if you encounter difficulties.

Please see http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/.
This walks you through setting up Java, Tomcat and your development environment. It also gives you some simple JSP pages and servlets to test to see if you have things working properly.
