Java Video Tutorial 41

In this part of the Java Video Tutorial, I'll show you how to make Java Servlets in Eclipse.

I'll cover how to set up Tomcat to work with Eclipse. I'll also show you how to fix the restricted library error, how to set up Eclipse tool tips and more.

Just got a new job as an Associate Java Developer and this is helping me out! 7 years later!! Thanks Derek!

I'm always happy to help if I can. Always feel free to ask questions :)

[derekbanas]

You can skip this part for now and move on to the rest. i just briefly cover Servlets anyway. I'll make a proper servlet tutorial soon. After this we make paint apps and games which are more fun anyway

[derekbanas]

Most of it. I sometimes write a bunch of method names out that I don't want to forget to cover. I improv a lot in these tutorials. The tutorials that don't start with me showing the final result are 90% improved. If you do this stuff for 15 years you just remember it. This was 100% improved

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome :) I promise I'll revisit servlets in the future and make the set up process easier to understand.

Wow, these tutorials are a lifesaver. They are the best I have found. You explain everything, don't move too fast but not too slow. Thank you!

[derekbanas]

I doubt that very much. A language like Java has stood the test of time. I've been using it since 1995. Tools that try to simplify complex tasks are replaced all of the time

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome :) Yes many game tutorials are coming. No I'm not from Texas. I'm from Pittsburgh, PA. I think my accent is a little odd because I was raised in a house in which many different languages were spoken

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome :) Search for the location of catalina.sh and then type catalina.sh version in your terminal. I hope that helps

[derekbanas]

Always feel free to ask questions. Are you using Tomcat and Apache on your computer?

[AhmedSedik]

guys you won't find the servlet-api.jar in your JRE system library instead i will be in the Apache Tomcat v8.0 library and you will just do the same for it

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) I'm definitely going to cover enterprise Java in its own tutorial. I'm covering Java design patterns and oop design in my current tutorial. Thank you for the request and it is coming soon

[derekbanas]

Thank you. I'm just getting started

[derekbanas]

I'm going to revisit Python after I get Java out of the way. Which version should I cover in your opinion pre-3.0 or post-3.0?

[derekbanas]

If you like NetBeans feel free to stay with it. I'm not one if those people that believes he is always right. I mainly chose to use eclipse in the tutorials because NetBeans is sometimes buggy in comparison to eclipse. If you got it working stick with it :)

[AhmedAbdelsalamHBK]

thanks derek, i wish you explain servlet as you done before, your tutorials r awesome

[derekbanas]

This is just a very basic tutorial. I'll get into best practices when I make a true J2EE tutorial, which this definitely isn't supposed to be

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) Sorry but I haven't covered hibernate yet

[derekbanas]

In my opinion the JMonkeyEngine is the best because of the great community that is involved with it. I'm not a big 3D guy though and have very little interest in making a 3D game. I prefer 2D, or 3D light games. As an individual I can make a great 2D game. I don't think I could do the same with 3D

keep up the good work
