2)Like that create another variable classpath and put the path of apache-tomcat lib as a value like C:\apache-tomcat-5.5\lib.*;
3)Also put the servlet api.jar file inside the lib folder.
4)Now create a jsp file:'hello.jsp'
<%@page language="java"%> <%String st="Hello World"; %> Message is <%=st%>
5)Put this jsp file inside the apache-tomcat>>webapps>>web application folder.
