To whom it may concern:

        Hi!, I recently installed Tomcat on my Laptop (I have to install it on my
Company's Server, which is a Windows 2003 Server, but since this is my first
time doing so I begun with my laptop).

        I already got the http://localhost:8080/ working, but let me tell you that
I barely understand the reason I have to install Tomcat, and thus I feel
overwhelmed with all this configurations and settings.

        My Company wishes me replace their Lotus approach DB/interface with
something more efficient and new, after some research I decided to implement
MySQL, and Java JSP, I knew that I need to install Tomcat in order to
display Java JSP pages, but that's all I know.

        I already went to the Administrator/JSP Engine Config HOW-TO section under
my local host, but I get easily intimidated by all the terms used "Ant,
jikes, forks, etc." Is there a section that explains all that, a glossary of
sorts? Even though I have a pretty good idea of what all that means, I
rather understand it before acting.

        I'm barely going to learn Java JSP as well as MySQL, which I know should be
first step before diving into Tomcat, but this is an urgent shore and I'm
stuck with doing it all at once.

        Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        You guys are doing a great work, I still can't believe that all this is
open source since it is Top Notch Grade

        Thank you and have a happy new year!

P.S. What is a local host? why is my http://localhost:8080/ pointing to a
webpage within my computer? what is it doing?
