I've actually gone through that book. It was my introduction to JSP and at the end of the book, STRUTS. It's been a life saver.
Regarding your problem: Did you install the begjsp-ch01 context using the manager app or by shutting down and then restarting tomcat?

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask but being new to JSP I'll give it a shot and thanks in advance for any help you can supply. I am running winXP - Home. jdk1.3.1_02 Installed tomcat4.0.6 without any problems. Changed config as follows : JAVA_HOME = c:\jdk1.3.1_02 CATALINA_HOME = c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6 CLASSPATH = c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\common\lib\servlet.jar;. PATH = added to existing path c:jdk1.3.1_02 http://localhost:8080/index.html gives me the Tomcat page. I am able to execute the JSP examples without problem. When I create my own .jsp file (simple one) in c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6\webapps\begjsp-ch01\index.jsp, set the address to http://localhost:8080/begjsp-ch01/index.jsp I receive the error message : 404 - webapps/index.jsp type Status report message /webapps/indx.jsp description The requested resource (/webapps/indx.jsp) is not available. JSP/HTML code - <html> <head> <title>My First JSP</title> </head> <body> Hello World!<br> the current date and time is <%= new java.util.Date() %> </body> </html> I have checked and double, triple checked all spellings, syntax in the .jsp file and the config settings and cannot find anything different from what is in the text I am using (on my own, Beginning JSP Web Development - WROX.) Java has been working fine since the beginning of the year. Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated as I am at a standstill.
