1. Would be nice if you started to take care how you write, decrypting your last message took me long
2. What version/type of NetBeans you using if you do not have Apache already with it?
3. If you choose to use stand alone installation of Tomcat then it has to be the zip version (or tar in *nix case) as Windows installer doesn't provide bat files in Tomcat/bin folder need it by NetBeans in order to use it
4. If you get errors from your project or IDE please provide full reading of them, not just partial what you remember

If you not sure on using NetBeans you can try JCreator LightEdition which available for free. It does not support integrated Tomcat environment but you can comfortable compile your servlets in it. Just be careful with beans, they have to be compiled separately and execution parameters not modified it will create another folder with compiled classes inside existing bean folder
