This workshop is for you, if you thinking:

My simple Java code has a main method. I have heard that JSPs and Servlets do not have main method.
So, how does it work?
I've read a lot about web.xml, servlet callback methods, JSP implicit variables etc. But how to use them all
to make it work together?
This workshop is not for you, if you are thinking:

How to write Java file and compile it?

I dont have any clue what JSP or Servlet is
What is a Application server?
Am an expert writing JSP and Servlets, lets see how others write them
Requirement:
Create a simple web page which has two fields, first name and last name as input fields.
When both values are entered and submitted, 'Your Name is : <First Name> <Last name>' should be
displayed.
When any one value is not entered, the web page should display, 'Please enter first name' or 'Please enter
Last name' or both as per the entry made by the user.

In the Choose component screen (See the screenshot above), select 'Services' checkbox to enable Tomcat
as Windows service. This is a nice feature to have. You may also want to select 'Examples', if you want to
have some JSP/Servlet samples installed by default. Click Next to continue.

In the Choose Install Location screen (See the above screenshot), browse to the folder where you want
Tomcat to be installed and click Next.

In the Configuration screen, select the port on which you want Tomcat should listen to. By default it will be
8080 and it can be left as it is, unless you have some other application already listening on this port. You
may also want to provide a password for the admin user

In the Java Virtual Machine screen, by default any SDK or JRE of 1.5 or above will be displayed. You will
need to have either JRE 1.5 or higher or SDK 1.5 or higher for installing Tomcat 6.x. Click Next to begin the
