Got Tomcat (v5) up and runnning on the laptop. Then created a very simple servlet to test this installation – this appears to be running fine, only slight problem is that you appear to need to restart Tomcat every time the servlet is updated – rather than dynamically, though I’m sure this must be possible. Am now going to extend this sample servlet so that it will do some xml parsing (well that’s the plan anyway).
Following on from that – once the xml parsing is working – the next steps are to see how to get the servlet to consume a webservice and also provide a webservice….
