I want to know what are needed to be downloaded to run
jsp and servlet applications.i have downloaded j2sdk and j2ee.is it necessary to downlaod any other server like tomcat to run servlets applications.
you don't need to have j2ee to run servlets unless you are doing ejb. you do need tomcat as the container and jdk to build/compile the servlets.Tomcat will be a container to hold your servlets and serve the jsp pages.
That is basic to understanding ANY server-side scripting or application language. JSP and Java Servlets are very much the SERVER side of application programming.
Tomcat is the server that will run your Java Servlets and JSP scripts. Other Java servers are Web Logic and WebSphere. These are very much like IIS running .NET and ASP applications on Windows.
For the web, if you don't have a server to connect to, you will never have an application that other clients can access.
