Hi all--
I am a bit confused about creating a web app. in tomcat 3.1 (in conjunction
with apache) and was wondering if one of you might be able to help me out.
Apologize for the low-level question...
Up to this point, we have configured the server.xml file such that it uses a
<Context> tag to recognize an absolute URL in the global environment. The
path is called "/temp".
under /temp we have created an WEB-INF dir.
Points of confusion:
1) How to configure the WEB-INF dir. It is my understanding that I need to
register my servlets in a web.xml file in WEB-INF. Is that the only other
file I need to change in order to run servlets?
2) What is the difference between the web.xml file in jakarta-tomcat/conf
and the web.xml files that reside within WEB-INF directories of individual
web apps? Do I need to configure both?
3) Servlet .class files need to be found in WEB-INF/classes, but JSP files
can reside anywhere in the web app. Is this so? In that case, are jsp's
registered differently than servlets?
I tried to follow the example web app that came with Apache, but felt like I
was drifting farther and farther from shore. Is there some sort of behind
the scenes configuration that goes on in the example?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
brad
