Help on my first Servlet & JSP

Hi all,

I have two requests.

1)The Tomcat documentation explains how to configure Tomcat using CVS. Could 
someone please direct me to a simpler, without-using-CVS way of deploying a 
servlet?

2) When I create a jsp file using Notepad, and try to save it as say 
index.jsp, my pc stores it as index.jsp.txt ! I guess it doesn't know what 
jsp is, and I have to set the MIME entry, right? How do I do that? I am 
using windows 95.

Thanks a lot,
Sheila

No you don't.  Several Windows apps are brain dead in dealing with filename 
extensions and just blindly tack on .txt regardless of what you want.  Just 
rename it to remove the .txt extension after disabling 'Hide file extensions 
for known file types' in My Computer folder view options.
