JSP file:
<html>
<head><title>Testing JSP</title></head>
<% String s = "Test string";
   if(request.getParameter("textVal") != null)
        s = request.getParameter("textVal");
%>
<body>
<h2>Testing JSP in Tomcat 4.0.1</h2>
<form method="GET">
Value of variable s:&nbsp;
<input type="text" name="textVal" value="<%=s %>">
<br><br>
<input type="SUBMIT" value="SUBMIT">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Installation: Tomcat 4.0.1 binary on W2000
Context path (under which I try to get JSP working) is outside tomcat folder 
(if that matters)
