How to publish a JSP Webpage created with Netbeans?

I want to allow others to access my website created through Netbeans but I don't know how 开发者_Python百科to do so. Ive searched and I found that you had to buy webservers and domain names?

However, I only want to host the webpage using my own computer since it isn't really anything commercial. How can I publish the webpage using Netbeans or my own computer? Would using IIS of Windows be possible?

Thanks!

You can download or use (if you have installed) Apache-Tomcat to deploy your web-app on your local machine.

Text from the above mentioned link.

It is possible to deploy web applications to a running Tomcat server.

If the Host autoDeploy attribute is "true", the Host will attempt to deploy and update web applications dynamically, as needed, for example if a new .WAR is dropped into the appBase. For this to work, the Host needs to have background processing enabled which is the default configuration.
