Barry, If the body of your JSP is solely <%= java.util.Date %> you haven't given it anything to display. You will need to do something like this:
<html> <body> <% java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date(); %> <%= today.toString() %> </body> </html> SF -----Original Message----- From: Barry Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 5:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: I'm new to this and could use a hand I just downloaded and installed the most recent release of Tomcat and I'm running it on Windows XP. I'm trying to learn JSP on my local machine (8080), but I have a few questions. When attempting a helloworld.jsp page that was to include the date, the code <%= java.util.Date() %> is not displaying anything at all. I'm trying to figure out what could be setup incorrectly to keep this from running. I'm running the j2sdk1.4.1_01. I just setup all of the Java SDK stuff today, so let me know if I'm forgetting anything. My new environment variables are as follows: JAVA_HOME C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01 CLASSPATH .;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar CATALINA_HOME C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1 PATH C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin I'm not sure what could be wrong because the main JSP pages work, as well as the admin and manager pages. Also, I just downloaded SunONE Community Edition because I've been told that's it's supposed to be very good for JSP, Servlets and Beans. For some reason, everytime I try to run this JSP page, it's telling me that no servers are installed and I'm not sure what could be wrong there either. Thanks in advance! Barry ===== Barry W.
