JavaServer Pages: Selecting a Host

To develop or host a JSP web application, you need access to a web server with a JSP engine. Setting up and administrating such a system is a complicated task, and you will need to make many decisions. Two of the most important decisions are which operating system to use and which web server and JSP engine to install. Macromedia JRun and iPlanet (now renamed to Sun ONE Application Server 7) are just two of the available technologies that add a JSP engine to existing web servers such as Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services). In addition to the web server, you must also install the latest version of Sun Java Development Kit (JDK), which can be found at

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/. 

The examples in this book use Macromedia JRun installed on a Windows server running Microsoft SQL Server. If you would like to duplicate the development environment we use in the JSP examples in this book, you can download evaulation versions of this software from Macromedia and Microsoft. Evaluation and development versions typically last for 30 to 90 days. Table 12.1 lists products that offer a built-in or add-on JSP engine as of this writing.
