Bebo, and Java server pages...!!?

Question

I know that this is going to be a big task, and a lot of work, but im oki with that.

I want to learn java so i can create java server pages. and maybe create my own version of bebo, (on a much smaller scale though)

Withought apps, whiteboards and stuff. (only friends and comments and photos)

i know bebo is made using .jsp pages, but is that all i would have to learn to make a social networking site similar.

( would uploading photos and stuff be jsp too ??)

i would apreciate it if your answers are actually aimed at the question.

Also ( i know some actionscript 2.0 ) so java would be a litle bit familiar

Answer 1

First, actionscript is similar to JavaScript, and is quite different from Java.

However, yes, you can anything you like with JSP - they're web pages and you can make them as complex and as simple as you like. A good JSP technology to use is JSF (JavaServer Faces) since this allows you to include components and has a simple data-binding model. For uploading files and pictures, use the Apache commons-fileupload library (http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/).
