Download Tomcat • Download Application server from www.apache.org • Make sure to set the appropriate Java Virtual Machine
Create a New Project in IntelliJ • Click File, then New Project • Create from Scratch • Click Next, give the Project a Name, and keep Clicking Next until the Desired Technologies window is in front of you • Click Web-Application, then Finish
Configure an Application Server in IntelliJ • Click File, then Settings • Click on Application Servers and Hit the + to add a new Tomcat Server • Set the Home Directory of the application server you have just installed(ex: c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/<Version>/ and then Click ok

Configuration(cont.) • Click on Deployment, WebFacets, and then the Web(inservlet) node and make sure the Deploy Web Facet radio button is checked • Click on Configure and make sure the Web Deployment is configured correctly
Configure XML FIle • Configure the web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory with the servlet class file name and directory, in this case we are going to place the class file in the root classes directory
Xml File(cont.) • We have to add one of these for every class file
The Servlet Class • Make sure to import the right classes and set the HTML output
Compile and Run • Make sure to add the name of the Servlet, after Http://localhost:8080/servlet1 in the startup page parameter of the run screen • Now we have an application server built into our development environement • COOL!!!
