Answer 1

You can put it in a session JSP tutorial, Sessions.

But frankly, you don't put database connections in a session. They're a scarce resource. You'd be better off using some pooling mechanism like in Tomcat JNDI database pooling example.

I personally would put all that java code in a class and use that class:

java:

public class FooRepo {
    public static Foo getFoo(Long id) {
      // Read resultSet into foo
    }
  }

jsp:

Foo = FooRepo.getFoo( id as stored in JSP );
// display foo

If you start playing with JSP I strongly recommend using a book. Creating a working JSP is very, very easy but creating a readable, maintainable JSP is hard. Use JSPs for the view, and not for the logic.

As for what book; go to a bookstore. I personally like the core java series and the Head First series. The last series is very accessible but also thorough.

I understand a book is expensive but investing in a book will help you understand the fundamentals which will help you if you move to struts, spring-mvc, wicket, JSF or whatever other framework you will use in the future.

Answer 3

I second the suggestion for the Head First book on JSP and Servlets. Don't be put off by the cutesy presentation, it's very thorough and the manner in which the information is presented is very effective both in terms of making it easy to learn, and helping it to 'stick'.

You could consider taking the Sun Java Web Component Developer certification exam, it's a good way to force yourself to learn the material thoroughly. Unfortunately, you'll need to take the Sun Java Programmer certification first.
