Here is what you need to do to have your own folders. Let's say you want to create a
folder 'abraham'. Open up Win Explorer create 'abraham' under c:\tomcat\webapps
Remember all new app directories you create should go under c:\tomcat\webapps ( not
100 % sure :) but will get you going ! )
Change to the new directory abraham
1. Under abraham , create WEB-INF
2. Under WEB-INF create another directory classes
So now you have C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF
and C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF\classes
Copy web.xml available at C:\TOMCAT\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF to
C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF
Copy your static HTML pages, GIFs etc to C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham
Your Servlet classes goes to C:\tomcat\webapps\abraham\WEB-INF\classes
Now to the most important step..
I assume by now you know the significance of SERVER.XML in Tomcat. If not
read about it in documentation .
This file is available at c:\tomcat\conf. Make a copy of this file before you edit it.
Inside this file there will be a 'Context' tag. as shown below
<Context path="/examples" docBase="webapps/examples" crossContext="false" debug="0"
reloadable="true" />
Make a copy of this line and on the copy change it to
<Context path="/abraham" docBase="webapps/abraham" crossContext="false" debug="0"
reloadable="true" />
Save the file and stop and restart tomcat
When you access the Servlet the URL should be
http://localhost:8080/abraham/servlet/Serv01
When you redirect to another servlet from Serv01
response.sendRedirect("/servlet/Serv02")
There is no need for '/abraham ' before /servlet because tomcat
already knows the context when it was started.
To another static HTML Page
response.sendRedirect("/test01.html");
You could have other subdirectories under 'abraham' let's say 'images'
if you want to access a gif from this directory, you should code it as
<IMG SRC='../images/pic01.gif'> . The two dots are very important !
You may also want to read more about forward() method and when you should use it.
Good Luck !
