Re: Build error
The fact that javac runs may only mean you have the jdk directory in your PATH environment variable. If you are on unix, use the command echo $JAVA_HOME to see its definition. I think the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not used by jdk at all. Barbara Baughman On Thu, 26 Apr 2001, Shih Chin Yang wrote: Hi! I just downloaded Tomcat 3.2.1 source, then followed the README to build, unfortunately I got the following error message BUILD FAILED /usr/local/shih/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/build.xml:94: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to your jdk directory. I was sure that JAVA_HOME has been set to my jdk1.3.0_02 directory, and I ran javac from command line without any problems, could someone help me? Also, it seems Jakarta-ServletAPI subject no longer exists, is it still required for building Tomcat? Your help would be much appreciated, Shih-Chin
Re: An easy one?...Tomcat IIS
The servlet/ needs to be there to tell the browser client that this is a java servlet. Most browsers discern the filetype from the file extension (.html, .htm, .jsp, etc.). Since the file reference to a servlet does not have a file extension, the addition of servlet/ is necessary to identify the file as a servlet filetype to the browser. Since you have no control over how your client browsers work, there is nothing you can do to change this convention.

I have Tomcat running and all the examples in the webapps dir work fine and I can add my own servlets to webapps and they work and I can create a directory outside webapps and run a servlet but they all have to be run using: http://myserver:8080/mydir/servlet/myservlet I want to run it here: http://myserver/mydir/myservlet What do I have to modify or create to get it to do this? I understand that Tomcat is running on 8080 and that is how I'm accessing my servlet but can't I go through port 80 and have IIS redirect to Tomcat? I've come this far and the solution is probably staring me in the face but it's Tuesday and the brain is numb already. Thanks for the help in advance, Scott
