What motivated you to study JSP/Java Servlets/Apache Tomcat?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I was in Borders looking at geek books, and came across Tomcat; The Definitive Guide for Tomcat (4). I read a bit - only to be interrupted by some book-kid who told me the store was closing! I had to buy it. For the first time in my layman years as a web designer, SOMETHING MADE SENSE!
Now, almost 10 years later, I am a department supervisor programming, designing, engineering and developing Java ecommerce sites using .jsp, Velocity, Struts, Springs and other Java technologies. I also use javascripting, xml, css and more... and there is more... just so much more....
And I have absolutely no certifications in any of this! Go figure!

M$I'm not going to say that was the best course, but for being absolutely free , I can't complaint.
What motivated me? I'm a nerd, a geek, I like being that, and I feel I couldn't be one of those, without knowing at least some programming. And of course, it was free :)
Good luck :)
