Barry, If you're creating a new directory to learn JSP, be aware that Tomcat does not launch new contexts by default.
I've placed the following in my server.xml file right before the </Host>. This allows me to just 'drop in' jsp files to test things. I also log the information to a separate file so I can parse the error logs more easily. <Context className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext" crossContext="true" reloadable="true" mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper" useNaming="true" debug="0" swallowOutput="false" privileged="false" wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper" docBase="beg-jsp" cookies="true" path="/beg-jsp" cachingAllowed="true" charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="0" verbosity="1" prefix="localhost_beg-jsp_log." directory="logs" timestamp="true" suffix=".txt"/> </Context> You'll probably want to change the debugging level as well.
