installing tomcat on windows
Tomcat is an apache addon so you can write JSP? that is correct?
If it is how do i install it. Been looking around and it seems rather complicated. There must be an easy way to do this?

DO you have Netbeans installed? Netbeans comes bundled with a Tomcat server.

Tomcat is available both as a standalone "web container" where you can host J2EE servlets and JSP also as an add-on to Apache httpd server.
I never tried it as an add-on to Apache so far, but the easiest way to do it is to get and install XAMMP which includes Apache, PHP, MySQL, an FTP server and many optimization add-ons.
Tomcat has versions for almost all major operating systems which include Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris.
The standalone version itself is a Java application which runs on any operating system that has a Java Virtual Machine. It is available as a separate download from Apache.org.
I have once copied the entire Tomcat folder installed on Sun Solaris 8 to Windows. Only by modifying the environment variable of java, pointing it to the JVM folder on Windows, and modifying startup & shutdown scripts (in .bat format), it just worked on Windows - without installation nor recompiling!
Note: In my humble opinion Tomcat standalone can also be used alone for hosting .html pages besides .jsp although I think this is not a very common practice.
Tomcat hosting, as far as I researched is more expensive than PHP hosting. So I do not yet use it for Internet publication, but we heavily rely on it on company Intranet.
