To add to your notes, I found some online documentation yesterday: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialTomcat.html
and the following recently-released book available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble: "Professional Tomcat Apache" by Chanoch Wiggers et al., Wrox Press, Sept 2002 Now, as far as my installation: I've got tomcat working, and java working. I looked at downloaded unixodbc (from www.unixodbc.org) but this package requires X include files, which my system does not have because I run a non-gui command line system. so then I hunted for jdbc on sun, the sun documentation is rather cryptic, I downloaded jdbc-stdext package but I'm not sure if its the right one. I put all the jar files in the classpath. The jsp file executes as it should until it gets to where it has to write to the database (a mdb file) then it chokes and says "Unknown source." Of course, there is no mdb file on the system, I haven't gone through the the jsp code to see if it's expecting one to already exist, or whether it should be able to "create" one if needed. Of course, I'm a system admin, I'm not a java developer so I really shouldn't have to learn java just to get this to work. So my question at this point woudl be: what is the cause of the "Unknown source" error?
