Help with JSP and Tomcat

[Zookey]

Hello guys,

I am new to JSP, and I need some help. I downloaded latest Tomcat and configure it. I think that i configured it in good way, because when I open http://localhost:8080/ a get this screen:



I just wanted to test it, so I create some JSP file in Notepad. Beside that I created folder helloJSP with empty subfolder WEB-INF inside webapps folder.

At the end when i have tried to test it, i get this error.

Look for webapps/ROOT
and place your test jsp to start with.

or, Put a dummy web.xml file inside WEB-INF that should do the trick.

I have moved it to ROOTS folder and rename it to index1.jsp, and i still get same error.

In folder /helloJSP/WEB-INF there are some files including web.xml, i assume that they are generated automatic by tomact or something like that.

Hi,Zookey
http://localhost:8080/docs/appdev/sample can give you a sample to test your tomcat.Download the sample,unzip and copy the unzipped sample into tomcat's webapps folder.Start tomcat then in the browser puthttp://localhost:8080/sample

try to insert the tag welcom-file-list into your web.xml

  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>

and make sure that in the folder webapps your project root the folder helloJSP exists and inside the folder helloJSP the file index.jsp exists. you should also make a call to the manager webapp inside tomcat to look if the application helloJSP is running, before you call the index.jsp.

if you want, you can send me your index.jsp and i will try it to run on my apache-tomcat-7.0.6.

Anyway I have new problem. When I start eclipse, and I go to File -> New Project, I dont have Web option to chose.
