I need to make a simple JSP page that will pulll up a small number of fields from a single record in a SQL database.

The problem is, I don’t know diddly squat about JSP, being an ASP/ASPX type of guy.

Can somebody link me to a very simple tutorial that I can follow in order to get an idea of what needs to be done?
