Hi.. I followed the book and wrote a simple index.html and hello.jsp and saved in my W2K tomcat server, path = C:\Tomcat\Tomcat-4-1-18\webapps\examples\ It works. After that I was asked to create hello.war file with this 2 files Q1)May I know why I need to create war file? Q2)Will JSP page works in pure apache or IIS server ? After that I decided to create index.html and hello.jsp file to a different directory C:\Tomcat\Tomcat-4-1-18\webapps\hello\ But ....\hello is not in the context path, that's why I go to http://server:port/hello/index.html, I got 404. So I need to specify the context path in the Tomcat Web Application Manager??? In Web Application Manager, there a new entry to fill for new application 1)PATH 2)Config URL 3)WAR URL I create a context.xml with the following content and save to hello folder. <context path="/hello" docBase="C:\Tomcat\Tomcat-4-1-18\webapps\hello" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> </context> and fill in the 3 entries with the following and click install PATH = /hello Config URL= file:/C:\Tomcat\Tomcat-4-1-18\webapps\hello\context.xml WAR URL= file:/C:\Tomcat\Tomcat-4-1-18\webapps\hello\hello.war It give me the following, it seems perfect, OK - Installed application from context file file:/C:\Tomcat\Tomcat-4-1-18\webapps\hello\context.xml
Question 3) BUT WHY IT DOESN'T ADD ANOTHER ROW FOR THE NEW APPLICATION in the list of application installed and WHEN I GO TO http://server:port/hello/index.html it is still 404???? --------------------------------- Yahoo!
