Re: 1st time user
Brian, This list is a Tomcat help list. We specialise in helping people resolve problems related to using Tomcat, and Tomcat is a Java Servlet Engine : a specialised kind of webserver, whose main purpose is running Java servlets (a kind of Java program written specially to be run in such an engine, usually in a web context). But it seems that there could be a fundamental misunderstanding, and that maybe you do not need Tomcat at all for doing what you want to do. If the "bit of code" of which you were talking, is something that needs to run in the browser (not the server), then you do not need any additional webserver, and the IIS you have been using so far is fine and enough. And if you have a problem running that code, the problem is not on the server side, it is on the workstation side. The basic question is : what is that piece of code that you need to run ? Is it something that is included in the HTML page ? If yes, is it *javascript* or *java* code ? Contrarily to what the name would tend to indicate, these are 2 totally different programming languages. Can you copy and paste here the content of that HTML page (or the relevant part of it), and point us to where in that page is the code that should run ? (Please use copy-and-paste, do not just "attach" the HTML page. This list strips most attachments). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I think I'm starting to see the picture. Do you have a Java Applet that you want to put on your page, or do you have a Java Servlet that you want to run? If you have an Applet, you don't need Tomcat /at all/: you just code the page with an tag in it, stick your JAR file containing your applet in the right place and you can serve it with any web server you want (including plain-old IIS). It will use the client's Java Virtual Machine to run -- like like a Flash applet uses Flash installed on the user's machine. If you have a Servlet that will be producing content on the server-side, then you do need Tomcat. If you have a dynamic page generated by a Java servlet, including Javascript from IIS is not a problem at all: just use a URL in your HTML page that will be handled by IIS and it's no problem, either. The "hard part" is connecting IIS and Tomcat so that some URLs handled by IIS are proxied-through to Tomcat. You can use mod_jk for that, though I have never done it myself (I don't live in the Microsoft world). The best thing for a newbie to do is get the web application running in Tomcat first, then slap a web server in front of it and get those components connected. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU8O5aAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYa10QALSHaejNPbTqCa3mC9Jy2yB6 CXafdlMtr7Xm2GxBGEzkTEW7qd+4CvCbd9J6flUjTJHjfoWxuc6w5SWTWPnsAtqA ZHo9ZACd5fu3zya0HmNQg/RWC2KcTCbg/wWG/7yRUsBOhAbhPUSBvVrXyIa4Qwa8 xi583nNr4+nNIs+jJ0r8wBvYWDKWecnv9V0UuvUMHzvl0shP8ZmNaAJe/NGnnhyK FsnBm+Znjmns+IQuVqEKpfza8tewsDU7ZPOXYfh9yL3PgLEI7MGB+ReKJ/Lm5JAM QbO+eyVR8NJyytraSlItyL3FHqHx2Yhx2cjUxUuTc+KBaNXTuCpcga5bKG/9IaY2 1DbwrDd0gaOC3JMj41bJjwlu6zu5UXEKDbfoArNS7wSGgOZ78kAWZicYO8l6He87 7fk3xzosw5Eb2ci5hqUIrjBSlgYH7DkDuJG3fv63yZILg3corvgJeTZ0YXX0bteh ttoJB87uBYf7fUjCi6eThWZEK90Gid8Jbii6r8cH24xbqNbGvRbL/lJNdV7Ttr24 lGy14Ffxu/ZKwRVBGMk7dgicwEH/B7PXg+yVk9/8TASAvO0Yo55CK0LmZ6Ftq6t6 MtNGTnJeWNz4wQb6EhyfLBEywGL8NwvAVomIkp05gaIHFXd/2oR/5XBZk/iGdRP8 N0lq+oBNQhNq8YaNeatz =dk3n -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

You have a few options. For Windows users, perhaps the Windows Installer (one of the .exe downloads) is probably the easiest to use: you'll get everything installed in a standard place (C:\Program Files) and it will also install the Windows Service that you can use to start/stop Tomcat. If you download one of the ZIP packages, you can unzip it anywhere you want. Launching Tomcat from the command-line is often a little easier to troubleshoot when you are getting started.

Would you like to connect IIS to Tomcat, or do you want to use Tomcat instead? The thing that's usually most confusing to new users is that Tomcat isn't a traditional web server where you just point it at a directory (DocumentRoot in Apache httpd's parlance, not sure what it's called in IIS) and serve files from it. Instead, everything is a "web application" which can be very simple -- just having a few .html files or whatever -- or it can have servlets, JSPs, and all kinds of other things that are more interesting than just static files. Unfortunately, the "getting started" documentation in the Users' Guide is not great. There are whole sections of your local public library or bookstore devoted to the basics of Java web applications, so repeating all that stuff in Tomcat's documentation is kind of ... repetitive. Understanding what a "web application" is, in terms of structure, is probably going to be the best time spent as you get started, here. Do a little bit of Googling and maybe to get a book on Java web applications and read some of the introductory sections. O'Reilly's "Tomcat: The Definitive Guide" is fairly good, though it's based upon Tomcat 6 and so some of the specific configurations are a bit out of date, but if you are okay with a loose interpretation of those specifics, it's worth the read. The book is HUGE, so don't try to go read the whole thing before getting started. Wrox's "Professional Java for Web Applications" is also good, though it moves very quickly and goes from covering "the basics" to ... well, everything else under the sun. It's also enormous, so don't think you have to read the whole thing. The authors of both of those books do lurk on this mailing list, and no, I don't get paid if you buy their books (though I should consider asking for some consideration!). So do a bit of reading and ask whatever questions you have, here. But don't ask this community to teach you how to write web applications because that will become tiresome for them. :) Welcome to the community. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU8KoFAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY1sQQAI3qHSgZgYA2YfHVnnYC4oGG NIZI5YZnVU9pHR29DlhEjobUkFhXTKFCHGikcuUId6RWvv6FNFq9h3eCZwIE11WN 1EQ7qxzllY8b66lQr28GMRKwXpPZns74IFHBbCNS9jPef5hfzvnC+XIVMxP5vWOJ BNOCpn1O1rGvFTfbkGQET5VSTKlql23owCz6hRTwpVSHYn/Te7vKuZI1aIPiGOzI YCPFjIvPVtnbgnDa+98Ax/K58rgP/Pp72Z458xn6totqr88VfqqweVTiLFLxJ7jh YwQ1yI6+BQSLQ2vYPkFuuVJ6cjOV2

Would you like to connect IIS to Tomcat, or do you want to use Tomcat instead? The thing that's usually most confusing to new users is that Tomcat isn't a traditional web server where you just point it at a directory (DocumentRoot in Apache httpd's parlance, not sure what it's called in IIS) and serve files from it. Instead, everything is a "web application" which can be very simple -- just having a few .html files or whatever -- or it can have servlets, JSPs, and all kinds of other things that are more interesting than just static files. Unfortunately, the "getting started" documentation in the Users' Guide is not great. There are whole sections of your local public library or bookstore devoted to the basics of Java web applications, so repeating all that stuff in Tomcat's documentation is kind of ... repetitive. Understanding what a "web application" is, in terms of structure, is probably going to be the best time spent as you get started, here. Do a little bit of Googling and maybe to get a book on Java web applications and read some of the introductory sections. O'Reilly's "Tomcat: The Definitive Guide" is fairly good, though it's based upon Tomcat 6 and so some of the specific configurations are a bit out of date, but if you are okay with a loose interpretation of those specifics, it's worth the read. The book is HUGE, so don't try to go read the whole thing before getting started. Wrox's "Professional Java for Web Applications" is also good, though it moves very quickly and goes from covering "the basics" to ... well, everything else under the sun. It's also enormous, so don't think you have to read the whole thing. The authors of both of those books do lurk on this mailing list, and no, I don't get paid if you buy their books (though I should consider asking for some consideration!). So do a bit of reading and ask whatever questions you have, here. But don't ask this community to teach you how to write web applications because that will become tiresome for them. :) Welcome to the community. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU8KoFAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY1sQQAI3qHSgZgYA2YfHVnnYC4oGG NIZI5YZnVU9pHR29DlhEjobUkFhXTKFCHGikcuUId6RWvv6FNFq9h3eCZwIE11WN 1EQ7qxzllY8b66lQr28GMRKwXpPZns74IFHBbCNS9jPef5hfzvnC+XIVMxP5vWOJ BNOCpn1O1rGvFTfbkGQET5VSTKlql23owCz6hRTwpVSHYn/Te7vKuZI1aIPiGOzI YCPFjIvPVtnbgnDa+98Ax/K58rgP/Pp72Z458xn6totqr88VfqqweVTiLFLxJ7jh YwQ1yI6+BQSLQ2vYPkFuuVJ6cjOV2N0FjpW90zaedsvdDwxwmLwnVVefNf8kdAkH HzhB71WEqtt59SuZQqS7WpDvNWK8CvBBE2yV2iUAX7uUHIP8sZeOHZydsVQKmlz/ oKQ6S8CXiJ3YlwIUMnn4GSGM0ebLkhKhn0brtVT+4baVgofRw+Gzcoe2eGL/VSC/ 4yalMtpZLOZELjDDa7b/8tTeHr1U1+/RCex3uNaM+UK57Ego+gli8Ew5ZUq8RyDu 3suSZaZqWICjFZEZxamxCbkv/NrVuHTTmDm

I haven’t done much of anything.
