I followed your advice, BAO RuiXian. I created a dirctory called test and deployed it, with successful results as noted in previous e-mail.
Since it did deploy successfully, I wondered what would happen if I copied the contents of the EBook directory---all of it, including html, jps, servlets, and xml files---into the test directory and ran the EBook app from there.
And it worked. Everything, including the jsp file that triggered my initial question to the forum. The EBook app works find from the test directory, as the test webapp. Then I went a step further and configured Apache to recognize the test app. And it worked, too.
So, my EBook app works whether called directly from Tomcat or from Tomcat via Apache, if deployed in the test directory, but not in the EBook directory, even though the context in server.xml is identical in every respect except directory name.
I don't get it.
Now I need to get it to work under the name EBook, not test. This is really strange.

Agreed.
since if it is not working directly from Tomcat, it cannot be running via Apache. What you see Tomcat is serving via Apache, actually it is not, rather the Apache itself is serving it.
But Tomcat has to be serving up something; the servlets that are part of EBook do work and Apache can't serve them without Tomcat.
You say Tomcat manager shows EBook is running, did you run localhost:8080//manager/list? Can you post the result of the url?
Here is the output:
OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost
/EBook:running:0:/usr/local/webserver/tomcat/webapps/EBook
/manager:running:0:/usr/local/webserver/tomcat/server/webapps/manager
/examples:running:0:examples
/j_tools:running:0:/usr/local/webserver/webapps/j_tools
/tomcat-docs:running:0:/usr/local/webserver/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/webapps/tomcat-docs
/webdav:running:0:/usr/local/webserver/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27/webapps/webdav
/admin:running:0:/usr/local/webserver/tomcat/server/webapps/admin /:running:0:ROOT
To further debug, can you do the following:
1. Make a 'test' directory under your webapps directory, i.e. paralell to "examples" and "EBook";
2. Make a Context block in the server.xml file for 'test' by copy/paste/modify the Context block for "examples";
3. Install this 'test' app by running localhost:8080/manager/install?war=test
Then run localhost:8080/test, what happens?
I get a Tomcat-generated directory listing for /
Listing is, of course, empty, since there are no files in test.
BTW, I really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Sorry, that's a cut-and-paste error that does not appear in the real server.xml. Only one </context> end tag; the root context is closed before the EBook context begins: <context... />
The configuration seems okay then. BTW, can you run http://localhost:8080/manager/list to see what apps you have installed? If you can not find 'EBook', then you need to install it by running http://localhost:8080/manager/install?war=EBook
