Right I'm sorry for coming across like a complete nupty but I could really do with a little guidance.
I've been given a website to modify only I don't know where to start. Its java based, but I'm more of an ASP/PHP man.
I've got .jsp, .war, .java and .class files, and aside from the fact that the code doesn't make any sense to me I've no idea how to compile or deploy it. The code itself is full of single letter variables and multi dimensional arrays and there are absolutely no comments, but lets worry about one thing at a time.
I can't seem to set up a test environment, and worse still I have no access to the host server, I just have to email updated files to a contact I have.
I've tried to install TomCat, and I've been messing around with a JDK install all morning with no luck. I can't seem to 'view' jsp files and have absolutely no idea on what I'm supposed to do with these java files.
I have WinXP installed with IIS and if someone could break this down for me I'd be very grateful :)
