Subject: Re: JSP page not found - any ideas why ?
I made a mistake in the previous posting - the JSP is actually located
in the directory $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/james1, not $TOMCAT_HOME/james1 as
I originally posted. Unfortunately it appears that my problem isn't as
simple as the erroneous posting leads you to believe. :(
Still stuck...
