This should be an FAQ but I've spent all day attempting to do something
that ought to be trivial with no results.
I am running a server with numerous virtual domains using the most
recent release of Apache/Tomcat/Jakarta.
I have a very simple .jsp file at the top-level of one of the virtual
domains, <http://cliktrik.com/index.jsp>.
It works perfectly well.
Now, all I want to do is to be able to add a bean that I've written
to this JSP page. However, for the life of me I can't figure out where
to put the .class or .jar file containing the compiled bean so that
the .jsp file be compiled and then can instantiate the bean at runtime.
Reading the Tomcat "documentation" leads me to believe that I have to
deploy an entire new webapp in order to add a single class file.
This doesn't seem to be the correct solution for the following reasons:
-- this would seem to force me to change all my URLs to start with the
name of the webapp, so all my URLs would look like, say
<http://cliktrik.com/cliktrik/index.jsp>
Having to change all my URLs (for the worse, too!) to link in a
single .class file seems rather inelegant.
-- truth to tell, I'm even unable to figure out how to deploy a webapp
into a virtual domain. I've been able to deploy them for the root
domain (see eg <http://editev.com/servlet/chess>,
<http://editev.com/servlet/chess?refresh=0>,
<http://editev.com/chess>)
but have been unable to use Tomcat or Apache's "documentation"
to figure out how to get any further.
(I had a little success playing with the
/home/jakarta-tomcat/work_cliktrik/localhost_8080
directory -- at least the .jsp file would find the definition of the
bean. But I could
never instantiate the bean.
(I don't anyway believe that this directory should contain anything other than
temporary files.)
Any help would be MUCH appreciated -- I've spent an awful long time on this
apparently simple problem.
