Answer 1

Option 1

Include jquery.js in your project

1. Get jQuery.
2. Put the jQuery.js file somewhere under the web root, but not under WEB-INF. Perhaps, create a directory named "js" at the same level as the WEB-INF folder in your project (for me, this is under the WebContext folder).
3. Reference the jquery.js file in your JSP page (example below).

Reference jQuery.js within project

or (to include your context path in the reference if you are using JSTL mapped to prefix "c")

Option 2

1. Don't get jquery.js
2. Load jquery from google CDN. (see below)
