Hi,
I am trying to get the bookstore example to work on tomcat4.
All that happens when i enter http://shinedb1.shine.net.nz:8080/bookstore
is that a directory listing gets displayed.
Isn't that all you are supposed to get!?!
try /bookstore/tests and you will get list of a bunch of test pages. Try those. If those pages don't work you are having some trouble.
IMHO bookstore is less of a working example than a reference. There are different types of pages there that get used for testing and if poeple have a problem we say "make an example that doesn't work in the bookstore so we can reproduce/test/debug it". As such, the pages are stripped to the bare minimum (for testing) and you won't get a good feeling for what the pages generated by devgui do. I really suggest just hooking up some to your database and making pages with devgui via that.
The bookstore also has some useful howtos for a few things not in the usersguide.
the testsuite is a little more complete but is based on an earlier version and doesn't doesn't have examples of the latest tags. You might take a look at that too.
The only error in catalina.out is
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.pow2.webgui.WidgetFactory).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

There were some other errors about a velocity log file not existing, but I've fixed those.
I've inserted the sample data into a postgres database(after modifying the ISO sql script).
I've also modified dbforms-config.xml
The only thing left to do now is to get the application to run.
I've had a look inside web.xml and can find no reference to bookstore, is this correct?
(I've found references to control, file and statreport)
Any help appreciated
Thank you
Peter McGregor
