I have installed Tomcat on my workstation and I'm able to access the applications supplied with the distribution. I have two Tomcat books and I'm trying to deploy an application from one of them as a tool to learn Tomcat basics. I am unable to get to the application. Below is what I believe to be the essential facts of my situation. I would appreciate someone looking over this and telling me where I've gone wrong or offering suggestions on other debugging techniques. Thanks.
Here is the information from the Tomcat Manager page: Tomcat version: Apache Tomcat/4.1.24 JVM version: 1.4.1_02-b06 JVM supplier: Sun Microsystems Inc. OS: Windows XP OS version: 5.1 Processor architecture: x86 My CATALINA_HOME environment variable points to: D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1 My application is at this path location: D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\apress I have the files "login.jsp" and "welcome.jsp" in this directory. I have this web.xml file in apress\WEB-INF: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd'> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>login</servlet-name> <servlet-class>chapter2.login</servlet-class> </servlet> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/apress</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/taglib.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> </web-app> I have this context element in my server.xml file: <Context path="/apress" docBase="apress" debug="0" reloadable="true" /> When I point my browser at "http://localhost:8080/apress/login.jsp", I get this error message: "The requested resource (/apress/login.jsp) is not available." When I use the Tomcat Manager application to start the "/apress" application, I get this error message: "FAIL - Application at context path /apress could not be started" Can anyone point out where I've gone wrong?
