Setup for Sample JSP Site

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 comes with sample Java Server Pages (JSP) web pages to let you build a small web application. This chapter describes one way to set up the sample application using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). For more information on these web servers, see Installing a Web Server. If you’re using a different web server, see Setting Up a Web Application in Using Dreamweaver (Help > Using Dreamweaver).

Setting up a web application is a three-step process. First, configure your system. Second, define a Dreamweaver site. Third, connect the application to your database. This setup chapter follows this three-step process.

This chapter contains the following sections:
