Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to test tomcat 3.2.1 from the web. I have it running on a
server
called vader.ics.uci.edu, on port 19000. I want to access the file,
source.jsp, which is located in the directory, 
webapps/examples/jsp/

But when I point my browser to
http://vader.ics.uci.edu:19000/webapps/examples/jsp/source.jsp

I notice, in the window where startup.sh is running the following error:


5-19 09:23:30 - ContextManager: Error reading request, ignored - java.lang
.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnectio
n(HttpConnectionHandler.java, Compiled Code)
at
org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(SimpleTcpEndpoint.j
ava, Compiled Code)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java, Compiled Code)  


Any suggestions on how to beat this?

Start from the bottom up.  Get it working for
http://vader.ics.uci.edu:19000/ first so you know if 
tomcat is running at all first.  Then try some of the
core example jsp.  Then and only then should you try your
pages.

Another way of checking to see if tomcat is listening for
http request on port 19000(any particular reason for such
an extreme port selection?) is to telnet to the machine on
port 19000 then do a simple command line HTTP GET request
and see what comes back.

Sounds like tomcat isn't running though.  Make sure nothing
is using this port already and use tomcat run instead of
tomcat start(if that should be your case) so you can view
things as they are happening.

Just a few starting points.

I just noticed one more thing: when i try to telnet to that port on the
command line, I'm connected and then right away disconnected, and the 
same error message appears in tomcat's window:

Are you sure that telnet connections are allowed on this server.

Perhaps the default is secure shell only (ssh)
