Rajesh,
The documentation is getting better and better. When I made the switch about
four months back, there wasn't much information about getting Jakarta-Tomcat
working with Apache. If you follow the documentation, you should be OK.
In case it helps, here's what worked for me:
o Jakarta-Tomcat creates a context with examples of JSPs and servlets. The
structure and naming conventions for this are set in the Sun Servlet/JSP
APIs, so it will be with us for a while and is worth learning.
o The examples directory is at $TOMCATHOME/webapps/examples
E.g., /odin/src/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/examples
o Within it are directories: images, jsp, META-INF, servlets, WEB-INF
o cd $TOMCATHOME/webapps; cp -a examples $YOURPROJECTNAME
E.g., cp -a /odin/src/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/examples \
/odin/src/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/kenslab
o Edit $TOMCATHOME/conf/server.xml
- make a copy of the Context path (2 lines) dealing with /examples
- Within those two lines, change every occurrence of "examples"
to $YOURPROJECTNAME
E.g., vi /odin/src/jakarta-tomcat/conf/server.xml
copy Context path="/examples"... /Context
and change every occurence of "examples" to "kenslab"
o Add the following to your apache httpd.conf file:
Include $TOMCATHOME/conf/tomcat-apache.conf
E.g., Include "D:/jakarta-tomcat/conf/tomcat-apache.conf"
Don't worry if tomcat-apache.conf doesn't exist, it gets created from
server.xml when you start up Jakarta-Tomcat
o Kill Apache
o Startup Jakarta-Tomcat using the startup script $TOMCATHOME/bin/startup.sh
o Start up Apache
o Browse to http://localhost/$YOURCONTEXT (E.g., http://localhost/kenslab)
o It should look just like http://localhost/examples
o Remove all the files from the subdirectories in $YOURPROJECTNAME
and replace with your files (use Jakarta-Ant).
Good luck!
Ken.
