Original poster asked for free Java/JSP tutorials and networking how-tos. A practical learning path is: (1) learn core Java and install the JDK, (2) study servlets and JSP, (3) run examples on a local servlet container, and (4) learn basic HTTP and how to debug requests. The official Oracle Java Tutorials are a solid, free starting point for the language and JDK setup: Oracle Java Tutorials. (docs.oracle.com)

As suggested, anchor learning in the official platform docs. For modern servlet/JSP coverage use the Jakarta EE Tutorial for hands-on examples (servlet lifecycle, JSP translation, JSTL and sample apps). For authoritative rules and exact syntax consult the Jakarta Server Pages specification (JSP 3.0) so tag behavior and translation rules are clear. Jakarta Server Pages spec (JSP 3.0). ()

For running code locally prefer Apache Tomcat (or an app server). Important caution: Tomcat 10+ implements Jakarta APIs (jakarta.) while Tomcat 9 and earlier use javax.; older tutorials or sample WARs may fail unless migrated or run against a matching Tomcat version. Typical beginner problems to watch for: unset JAVA_HOME, JDBC driver missing from WEB-INF/lib, and servlet-api/package mismatches that raise ClassNotFoundException—see the Tomcat migration notes. Tomcat migration guide. (tomcat.apache.org)

For networking fundamentals and practical debugging (methods, headers, status codes, use of devtools/curl) consult MDN’s HTTP overview; it makes troubleshooting server-client interactions much easier. After the basics are mastered, build a tiny servlet+JSP app, connect it with JDBC, and run it from an IDE (NetBeans/Eclipse/IntelliJ) to get fast feedback. Overview of HTTP — MDN.

Well...
some suggestions:
1) first try to search with google (use + and other logic ops to obtain a better search)

2) look at Sun docs and examples, the Java doc is a bit worse than the old version, but it's always one of the best doc's... ;-)

3) there are a lot of sources, articles, examples, snippets, around the web, use point (1) also to search some of them

4) try try try and then if you don't find anything with points from (1) to (4), then you can post on forums your questions.

5) on forums use a title that is clear and focused on your question, don't use a title like "help" or "problem" they are too general... Use some like: "Java, inheritance" or "XML, XSL, Xalan" and so on...


I hope that you understand my poor English friend! ^_^


go there, there is even a GREAT explanation of how to setup and run tomcat server on your computer under "Servlets, Beans, JSPs, and CGI"
in the next section "JDBC and RMI" you can get it to interface with MySQL
if you need just an introductory explanation try this link instead:
