Questions about Java Servlets and JSP

843835Apr 10 2003 — edited Jun 3 2003

Hi,

I'm a confident Java Programmer (and really enjoy using this language) but am very new to Java servlets and Java Server Pages.

I have previously worked with Perl on my web projects (simple 'league' style voting pages). I read in my 'Core Java' book that I should no longer use perl or even cgi.

I need to know more about Java servlets and Java Server Pages so I can make the switch to a 'real' programming language.

I have a few questions:
How should I start to learn JS and JSP?
How applicable will the java knowlegdge I have already be?
Are JSP common on the world wide web?
What tools do I need to start? (I currently develop in JBuilder and have Java 1.4.1 Standard Edition)
Is it likey my web host (and others) will support JSP?

Thank-you very much for helping a novice get started,

Regards,

Paul
