What it is
A 15-minute screencast from 2012 that walks through creating a Dynamic Web Project in the Eclipse IDE. It gives a brief overview of JSP and Servlets and shows how they are configured in the web.xml deployment descriptor.

answers one by one: You cannot deploy the servlet only, you have to pack it into a war file then deploy it. Now, how to pack something in a war file? Well either you let the IDE you're using to do it for you (see the help of the corresponding IDE you're using) or you build it with some project management tool such as maven or ant to do it for you. I would propose to start with the exporting war file from the IDE. If you're using Eclipse, I made a fast google and found this video [this video] you can watch it(I haven't watched it end to end but it seems right). Exporting your web project to a war file, means that your servlet classes will be compiled and packed in it, so there's no need to compile

You need to have eclipse java ee or switch in your eclipse perspective to JavaEE Only if you are in proper perspective you have access to create right javaEE projects and other files this link should help you a lot (it's about how to get know perspective) [LINK] and this one describes so well this whole process [this video] as you can see in right corner of window this developer have javaEE perspective and he can: Dynamic Web Project jsp file - choose (file, new, other and you will be in new wizard window and you need to choose Web folder and there will be your jsp file) servlet - it's nothing more then java class extends HttpServlet for example -> public class FileServlet extends HttpServlet{} I

Normally you wouldn't compile a servlet from the command line like this. The servlet container (tomcat) would compile it for you. However if you are in the debug phase I note you haven't included the javax.servlet classes in the build path. If you are using eclipse, create a dynamic web project. Create the servlet (new servlet) in a package under the source directory. Now make sure that the runtime environment is pointing at a tomcat server. This will include the correct servlet jar files. For the twitter4j jar files you'll need to add them to the project build. In the java build path add them as external jar directories. Finally to run the project, make sure the jar files are in the lib dir

My solution: I wrapped my search engine library into a JAR file. I downloaded zipped version of TomCat 8 and installed it into my Eclipse environment as a new Runtime Enviroment. I made a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse (see this video lesson [this video] ) using TomCat 8 server. I put the JAR into my webapp (should be something like WebContent\WEB-INF\lib\searchEngine.jar ) I created a Servlet to handle user input. I did the rest using very simple JSP pages, embedding Java code that uses my JAR (I know, that is not so good but it works!) Cheers!

The Java framework for web development is J2EE. It provides a Web Container to run web application (.war file) as well as other stuff. Web application can be servlet, JSP etc. If you are not familiar with Java Web Application, you may want to start with using Eclipse. The following video shows how to use eclipse to build a project for web application [this video]
