You're saying that you cannot view
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq ?


I tried via e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], but got a back a message saying : FAQ - Frequently asked questions of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. None available yet. Thansks however for the new links.

Most servlet books are out of date. They were written when Tomcat had something called "the Invoker servlet" enabled by default. This is no longer the case, because the Invoker servlet is a security risk, so in later versions of Tomcat (released after the book was published) the Invoker is disabled. Thus, the example from the book will not work.

See:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#compile
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#invoker
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#evil


Thanks again.

Also, as a novice, you are setting yourself up for some potential grief by using Apache.

Ok I will stick to tomcat. Does this mean I should stop the Apache server?


There is no requirement to use Apache to learn JSP and servlet development. You will make things much easier on yourself if you ignore Apache for now and simply use Tomcat. Tomcat is perfectly capable of handling all of your needs, both as a normal web server and as a servlet container for JSP and servlet development.

Er ... whats all the talk ablout JSP? All I'm trying to develop is a servlet. How closely are servlets related to JSP? I'm sorry to ask. Its only because I would like to know.


Thanks for the link http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#compile. I will try the environment issue.
