Hello. I'm trying to get Tomcat running under Windows 'NT with IBM VAJ.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make everything work together just yet,
and would greatly appreciate your help in resolving what is probably a very
simple problem.
Environment
- MS-Windows 'NT 4.0
- IBM VAJ version 3.0 for J2SE 1.2 (the free, up to 750 classes version of
VAJ)
- Tomcat 3.1
All of the above have been downloaded and installed into their "default"
locations. Environment variables include the following:
CLASSPATH=C:\IBMVJava2\eab\runtime30
JAVA_HOME=C:\IBMVJava2\eab\runtime30
TOMCAT_HOME=C:\jakarta\tomcat
When I enter the following commands:
C:\jakarta\tomcat\bin>startup
Starting tomcat in new window
Using classpath:
c:\jakarta\tomcat\classes;c:\jakarta\tomcat\lib\webserver.jar;c
:\jakarta\tomcat\lib\jasper.jar;c:\jakarta\tomcat\lib\xml.jar;c:\jakarta\tomca
t\
lib\servlet.jar;c:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib\tools.jar;C:\IBMVJava2\eab\runtime30;
C:\jakarta\tomcat\bin>
A new MS-DOS Command Prompt window opens with the title
"c:\WINNT\system32\java.exe". It contains the following output, presumably
from Tomcat:
Context log: path="/examples" Adding context path="/examples"
docBase="webapps/
examples"
Context log: path="" Adding context path="" docBase="webapps/ROOT"
Context log: path="/test" Adding context path="/test" docBase="webapps/test"
Starting tomcat. Check logs/tomcat.log for error messages
Starting tomcat install="c:\jakarta\tomcat" home="C:\jakarta\tomcat"
classPath="
c:\jakarta\tomcat\classes;c:\jakarta\tomcat\lib\webserver.jar;c:\jakarta\tomca
t\
lib\jasper.jar;c:\jakarta\tomcat\lib\xml.jar;c:\jakarta\tomcat\lib\servlet.jar
;c
:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib\tools.jar;C:\IBMVJava2\eab\runtime30;"
Context log: path="/admin" Automatic context load
docBase="C:\jakarta\tomcat\web
apps\admin"
Context log: path="/admin" Adding context path="/admin"
docBase="C:\jakarta\tom
cat\webapps\admin"
The logs do not seem to indicate an error message -- the tomcat.log contains
the following:
Starting endpoint port="8080"
handler="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler" Starting
endpoint port="8007"
handler="org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHandler"
While this seems to indicate that Tomcat is working properly, I know it
isn't. I have two files, simple.html and simple.jsp (downloaded from Wrox, as
I'm using their Professional JSP book as a reference).
====begin simple.html ====
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Simple JSP Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
How many times?
<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="SimpleJSP.jsp">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="2" NAME="numtimes">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT">
</FORM>
==== end simple.html ====
==== begin simple.jsp ====
<%@ page language="java" %>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Simple JSP Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<% int numTimes = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("numtimes"));
for (int i = 0; i < numTimes; i++) {
%>
Hello, world!
<% }
%>
<%@ include file="PageFooter.html" %>
==== end simple.jsp ====
simple.html loads fine. When I enter a number into the resultant form
simple.jsp is loaded but the JSP servlet code IS NOT executed. What am I
doing wrong?
