How do you configure localhost?

Localhost is always IP address 127.0.0.1. This is also known as the loopback address because every machine uses this same address to refer to itself. You do not have to do anything special to set this up. That is; you do not require a DNS (domain name server) to resolve the localhost name to IP address 127.0.0.1 because it is "hard-wired". If you have a local webserver running, entering "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in your browser will bring up the default page for that server. Other machine's on your network can also access your local webserver, but they must use your machine's local area address or the machine name to access it (if they use localhost they'll simply refer to themselves). If you do not have a webserver running, your browser will simply tell you that the web page is not available. Setting up a webserver is simply a matter of installing one. Consult the webserver documentation for information on configuring it.

What are java servelets?

When the internet/web was young... there was the webserver. But it didn't do much except fulfill requests for files. Mostly images and .html documents, and such. However, someone noticed that a C program has stdin, stdout and stderr streams... So they made a file extension called .cgi (Common Gateway Interface) and told the webserver that when a request was made to this .cgi file... that it shouldn't SEND a .cgi file to the requestor... instead it should RUN the file as a program, get the program's output and sent THAT output to the browser. Thus web apps were born. Browser Request -> Webserver -> Stdin -> C program... ->>> Stdout -> Webserver -> Response to user's browser. Sun Microsystems wanted to use java for web apps. So, they made tiny classes called "Servlets" (mini-Server programs) to run instead of the C programs/Perl programs everyone else was using. Servlets work like: Browser Request -> Webserver -> Java -> Stdin -> java Servlet Class.. ->>> Stdout -> Webserver -> Response to user's browser. That's pretty much is. A Java Servlet is a program that accepts data, does some processing and then spits out results that a webbrowser would understand. Hope this answers your question.
