I am totally new to JSP/serlets, my background is C++
then PHP and recently Java again. I am fine with
these, but this has me baffled.

I am almost home when it comes to the install, had
some issues but almost all is working.

My last hurdle is one which is very confusing. 

ok, there is a webapps directory, inside is a very
dirs, examples, ROOT etc.

the normal root page loads up and I can get to the
examples, the confusion starts here, the ROOT houses
the index.jsp, but the examples are not UNDER ROOT
they are a different dir back one in webapps.

WHEN I add a jsp page into the root it works fine

SO all I want to do is start messing with JSP for now.
I have a folder which houses my work seperate from the
app structure. so I created a jsp folder and then
threw in s ln -s to it in the ROOT (also tried the
webapps) then I renamed the main index file under
ROOT, so there is not one, then when I goto root in
the browser I get a dir tree. there is my jsp folder
BUT when I click on it it says resource is not
available!!

what I did was I changed the grp on the folder to be
tomcat4, just as the other items are. 

why can't I see this folder and get to a jsp in there?

the docs are confusing and all they talk about is
setting up web apps and stuff, I am far from this, I
just want to do a very tests to get going. 

Do I need to create web app for each of them?

I have looked online and have not found the answer,
please help!

Thanks

tomcat 4.1.24
redhat 7.3
