Here’s a list of the components powering this website:

• Struts Tiles.
• Url Rewrite Filter.
• Pebble.
• JSP with JSTL.

For development, I used the Eclipse IDE, as I usually do for Java projects. To put it all together into a nice WAR file, I used an Ant build file that merges the above components into a single webapp and then adds my own JSPs, customizations and configuration to that same webapp.

By the way, my servlet container is Tomcat 4.1.29 running on a shared server host. It’s actually the Light Edition of it, but fortunately that doesn’t seem to be causing any trouble.

After thinking about starting a blog for quite a while, it feels nice to have gone ahead and done it. I don’t know how often I’ll be posting new entries, but you’ll see, and I hope I’ll actually get some readers as well.

To get started, I thought I’d write some entries about what components I used for creating this website and how and why I used them. So, check back soon or add any of my feeds to your feed reader software!
