RE: Changing to different index.jsp from Tomcat default index.jsp
I thought it was created in a Servlet and you had to change some parameters in one of the .xml files like web.xml in the ROOT directory.

RE: Install on XP Home edition
This is where I believe my mistake is. I installed Java on my home computer in response and now I'm working on getting the JAVA_HOME variable set. I thought I created the correct JAVA_HOME environment variable but I found out I was creating it in the top user box and not in the bottom system box. The system box is where my JAVA_HOME environment variable resides on my work computer which has the server installed correctly. I'm also trying to determine if my PATH environment variable needs to include the path of my JDK directory. On my work computer the JDK directory is not indicated. However I have gotten instruction that this PATH variable needs to be set. So it seems to work without it but I'm no expert. This might be the cause of another problem I'm trying to get around. If you know for certain that this needs to be added to the PATH variable could someone confirm that it is the system PATH variable that I need to add the directory to.

File isn't found in ROOT directory
I have placed an index.jsp file that I created in my servers webapps/ROOT folder. When I place the following address in my browser: http://localhost/index.jsp I still come up with the tomcat homepage on my local host.

I commented out the servlet-mapping but I still get the tomcat page for index.jsp. With my installation of Tomcat there already was a folder called admin with index.jsp in it.

RE: File isn't found in ROOT directory
Dave et al, I'm not sure why my index.jsp file is now accessible but it is. I commented out the part of the web.xml file for the servlet-name and got an error. When I got rid of the comments my index file showed up in the browser on refresh as opposed to the tomcat version. All is well that ends well. I must have overlooked something in there like saving the web.xml file before I tried the address. I'm now having trouble getting my servlet recognized which I will post in a separate post.

Accessing a servlet
Well I'm ticking these newbie questions off. I have a simple servlet that I want my form to access. I compiled the file fine and it is called JustALittleTest.class. I placed this file in the ROOT/WEB-INF/classes folder. In my JSP I have a form with some submit buttons. The action element of the form is set to =JustALittleTest. I changed my web.xml file so it now has the following entries: servlet servlet-nameJustALittleTest/servlet-name servlet-classJustAlittleTest.class/servlet-class /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-nameJustALittleTest/servlet-name url-pattern/JustALittleTest.class/url-pattern /servlet-mapping I've tried a few changes to the above entries but I haven't gotten it right yet. Should the servlet-class value have a .class extension? Is my url pattern accessing the correct folder? Brian

Not able to start server
I have two separate installations of tomcat. One is version 5.5 and the other is something I downloaded from www.coreservlets.com that is a preconfigured version of tomcat 5.5.9. I have two separate errors with these programs when I go to start up the server. A solution to either would be great. So which ever one seems like the best one to reply on. With the regular full version I get an error of the start up hangs after this line is printed: (Date and Time) org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start This happens early in the start up process and couldn't be more than 10 lines like that deep into the program. I think I managed to get all of the proper changes implemented to make the tomcat server run but I may have missed one. I've looked over the list on www.coreservlets.com website and I think I got all modifications placed correctly but I am a little grey in there in places. On the preconfigured version I get a different sort of error. The server runs through all of its set up lines from what I can tell but the program just runs straight through and I'm left with out a window for my server. I just tried running the program and I got the same hang state on the same line as I get for the full version of tomcat. I'm using port 80. Brian McRaven
