You are going to need a JSP engine so you should download the Tomcat project from jakarta.apache.org - It comes with some JSP examples.
I suggest that you do not try to "learn JSP" you should learn "Servlets and JSP" - learn the servlet basics first.
Download the Servlet API and the JSP API from java.sun.com - in PDF format. These documents will answer a lot of questions (but they are not easy to read)

It would also be a good idea to review HTML thoroughly (if you are not from a web background already). I have run into outstanding programmers who for some reason never took the time to master HTML and their JSP/ASP applications suffer drastically in appearance and functionality.

Yep learning jsp is easy!... perhaps too easy. In other words its a simple task to knock up pages with loads of embedded scripts (then you may as well be doing asp
) and little thought given to design. Learning how to build a web application using accepted design patterns (MVC/Model2) will take you more time (and no doubt frustration!) but will make you a better Java Web programmer.
