Hi :-) Firstly you need to add the following entry to the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file, setting the values for the path and docBase to the name of your web application.
<Context path="/groupa" docBase="groupa" debug="0" reloadable="true" /> That's the first step and then you'll be able to copy html files into the groupa folder. Your default web.xml file will look like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> </web-app> And then for each servlet you'll need to add: <servlet> <servlet-name>ExampleServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>packagename.ExampleServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>parameter</param-name> <param-value>value</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> and copy the servlet class into the /WEB-INF/classes folder. This should get you started (without needing a long book - although they can be very exciting reading :-)) :-) Lol :-) G. -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence, Gareth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 27 March 2002 3:02 p.m. To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Deployment [Newbie] Greetings All, Got tomcat going well on linux, but deployment is giving me a headache :-(( I'm looking at the documentation and the example web.xml file and I'm not sure what I need to do to set up a webapp ??? I've got my folder in webapps: groupa Directory Structure: groupa WEB-INF classes lib So I think its the web.xml file I'm not sure on :-( I'm looking at the example one and it isn't helping .... I see the servelet configuration stuff: <servlet> <servlet-name>graph</servlet-name> <description> </description> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>graph</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/graph</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> But do I really need to specify each servlet in the web.xml? What do I need to do to make the folder accessible (like examples :-))? Or can you direct me to a good tutorial on deployment.
