But the I am no able to run java server pages on my computer, my computer is not a server but I want to treat my computer as server for running these pages. In my computer I use Windows XP and I thing in Windows XP I can change my computer as server. But the problem is I am not doing this before and I don’t know how to make my computer as server. So can anyone assist me how to run JSP pages in windows XP?

I tell how to run JSP pages on your local machine, for running JSP pages we have to make our computer as server for that you have to installed Tomcat Server 6.0 use using this you can make your computer as server using this you can run your JSP pages in your system.

• Tomcat installer needs the JAVA_HOME environment variable to make a setup path of JRE.
• There is no need to run Tomcat server when you start your machine it will automatically run even no need to when choosing to run Tomcat at the end of installation.
• Installer crates the shortcut icon for starting and configuring the TOMCAT.
