Hi Javier, setting up the bookstore is easy: copy the war file inside the zip archive to Tomcat's webapps directory, then point your browser to the following address:
http://localhost:8080/bookstore/bookstore.html In case your server is not running on port 8080 (default), change the number above to resem- ble the appropriate port. Bingo. And forget about editing server.xml, as this is a .war file; just copying it will completely suffice. The one single reason why something like http://localhost:8080/bookstore/ doesn't work at first attempt is that Sun forgot to specify the <welcome-file> in web.xml (underneath WEB-INF). Either add the appro- priate entry on your own or just rename bookstore.html to index.html (one of the default welcome files), and you should be fine ;) HTH, -- Chris (SCPJ2) NB. .war files are great, aren't they? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Javier Sturman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 6:32 PM Subject: Configuration issue - Duke's Bookstore > I've just installed tomcat 4.0.3 and I would like to set up Duke's > Bookstore example that is in java.sun.com (tutorial/download). > > In the web page says that I should add this line to the server start up > file.
