I am using Apache web server and Apache Jserv1.1 I have directory structure as follows. d:\jswdk-1.0.1 | | |----anything | |-----jsp-------|-----test |----test.jsp | |-----servlets | |-----Web-inf---|----jsp |----servlets |----mappings.properties |----mime.properties |----servlets.properties |----webapp.properties I have got following Questions regarding these structure and files in it. 1.---------------------- What is the usr of .properties files ? I have tried to screw them up, but couldn't found effect of this. 2.---------------------- There are two jsp directories and two servlets directory. One which residing anything contains .jsp files which calls java beans residing under \Web-inf\jsp directory. As far as I understand, .class files (beans) should go under this folder is this correct ? 3.----------------------- what is the use of \anything\servlets folder ? As far as I understand, \Web-inf\servlets contains all the compiles class files which are servlets ? so, what should go under \anything\servlets folder? 4.----------------------- I am using Type 4 - Pure JDBC Driver. And I want to use this driver both in Beans and also in Servlet. So, ideally speaking where should I put this driver. Because, when I load JDBC Driver - com.inet.tds.TdsDriver, the TdsDriver.class file should be in the directory, com\inet\tds and it should be in the same directory where the class is loaded. so, clearly if I am loading ConTest servlet from \Web-inf\servlets directory, then under \Web-inf\servlets directory, com\inet\tds should be there. If i put it, it works fine. But what If I want to use this same driver, from the beans also. What is the solution for this? Thanks for your help guys.
