Creting a website with jsp and servlets

I'm trying to create a web content project by importing JSP files from an existing website developed in NetBeans. I've successfully created a web content project with static html files from a previously developed website. If I convert the JSP files to HTML, zip the files, then import them, I can

What are you trying to ask?     Certainly JSP is one way to write a dynamic web site and any J2EE textbook will tell you how to do it.

However since this is an Alfresco forum perhaps you mean manage a web site via Alfresco WCM?   In which case you can choose whichever technology you want to implement your web site, Alfresco WCM is fairly agnostic as to the technologies to use for your managed web site.   JSP is one choice, you may also want to look at JSF or you could use the Microsoft stack for page rendition technology.    Or use some sort of web site generator application, there's a lot of interest in Freemarker at the moment.

If you manage your web site as JSP files then you will need to deploy your wcm content to a JSP servlet engine like Tomcat, Web Logic, WebSphere, Jboss, Orion etc.   And those JSP files can access the services of Alfresco if they need to.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I guess I wasn't very clear. I did mean managing a website using Alfresco. The website has already been developed using JSP and servlets and has already been deployed (developed in Netbeans). I've just started looking at Alfresco (literally) to manage the website, so that certain users can update content themselves. I was able to create a web project by importing a zipped file of static html web pages, and could preview the website in Alfresco. I then tried to create a web project by importing a zipped file of the aforementioned jsp files, but got an error when I tried to preview . Even when I tried to preview individual files, the code would display. I renamed 'home.jsp' file to 'index.jsp' hoping this was my problem, but got the same result. Some of the files have just html while others have java code in them. All the files start with(for what it's worth):

standard code here…

I'm assuming I'm missing something obvious.

I ended up simply importing the WAR file from my Netbeans project and everything works fine.

Your file name is simplejsp.war.rar

Has the file been double encoded ?

The bulk import will expect a Zip file encoding so a .zip or .war

hi,
My folder name simplejsp.war which contains the jsp files, WEB-INF,META-INF, Cluster folders too …since i bulk import need zip file, i zipped the folder using Winrar it becomes simplejsp.war.rar .
But it not works …Please point out what mistake i made.
Thank you !

As mrogers said, the bulk import will accept a .war file (these are really zip files anyway). So just import the .war file directly without trying to compress it again with winrar.

btw, rar is a different format to zip
