Greetings, I have Tomcat4-4.0.3 configured to run with Apache. I am trying to deploy my own simple web application but have had no success.
My application (actually copied from a book) consists of a bean called (JSPCal/Cal.class) and a jsp page to display a Calendar by calling the bean's methods. I am running RedHat Linux version 7.3 on my tomcat server. What steps do I have to do to install my own web app? I did the following: 1. Created an alias for the directory in httpd.conf Alias "/baz-jsp/" "/var/tomcat4/webapps/baz-jsp/" 2. I copied the same information for the <Directory> entry that I had down for the "examples" application. 3. I created /var/tomcat4/webapps/baz-jsp with the subdirectories jsp and WEB-INF. I copied the web.xml from the /var/tomcat4/webapps/examples directory. I didn't change much. I don't understand web.xml, but most of it looked like system-y stuff (like the "filter" entries). The there were the names of some servlets but nothing about JSP's. So I did not add information about my Cal.jsp or my bean JSPCal.class in the web.xml. 4. I created a classes subdirectory of WEB-INF and put Cal.class (the bean) there. I put Cal.jsp in the jsp subdirectory of /var/tomcat4/webapps/baz-jsp. 5. Back in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I created an entry for "baz-jsp" using the same WarpConnection as for examples. 6. Basically I tried to get "baz-jsp" looking like examples, as configured. By the way, I have never been successful in getting the opening page for tomcat to display...the famous one that shows the in the upper left corner. I get to the examples by pointing my browser at http://mail.baz-tech.com/examples/. (This should be inaccessible from outside my firewall.) This gives my an index of three directories. When I tried the same thing as http://mail.baz-tech.com/baz-jsp/ I got an error message in the browser, "Resource not available." Can anyone tell me the basics of setting up a web application, or point me to any good resources on the subject? Thanks for your time.
