Taking information from Web page and sending it to a Java Server

Hello,

I am trying to learn a few things with Java and I thought a good way to learn what I want to learn would be to set up the following example.

"A user goes to a web page and is asked a simple question and they have the option of selecting 'yes' or 'no'. Their answer is then sent to someone else's phone."

I thought the way to do this would be to create a Java Server that listens on the web server and takes the answer and passes it on to a program running on an android device that is listening for the answer.

I have set up Tomcat already, looked at JSP and also have the tools to do android programming, but then I had to go to work :( and now I am wondering if there is some clear instructions or coding for what I am doing.

All help would be much appreciated, even if it is just for doing the first bit of the example (I can look elsewhere for android programming).

Thanks

That sounds like standard HTTP server stuff. User opens an HTML page, fills in form, presses submit and the data is sent to the server.

Ok,

Can someone please explain how I execute java classes using tomcat, or point me to some decent website?

Thanks

Are you talking about servlets that execute on a server? The doc for tomcat should explain how to setup the control files for servlets and where to put the class files.

Here's the JavaEE 5 tutorial for the web tier (JSP and Servlets).
Here's the JavaEE 6 tutotial (JSF and servlets).
