Appendix B. Installing JSTL and Tomcat
To run any of the examples in this book, you have to install the JDK. We tested our examples with JDK 1.4, so we suggest you use JDK 1.4 or higher for JSTL.
You can download the JDK from the Sun Web site at http://java.sun.com/j2se. Make sure that you download the full SDK, not just a runtime environment (JRE). The file you download will be named j2sdk-1_4_0_01-windows-i586.exe, or something similar. You should execute this file to begin the process of installing the JDK.
Executing the downloaded file will launch an Install Shield installation program. This program makes the process of installing the JDK relatively easy. Once you've installed the JDK, the installation program exits and you are ready to install Tomcat.
