Tomcat 4.1 question(viewing html pages)
Hi,
I have the following question: to view a html page from the webapps
directory of Tomcat, what do I need to do? In Tomcat 5.5 all I had to do
was create a sub-folder in webapps and put the html page inside it. Then
using the right URL, I can access the page...This does not work in Tomcat
4.1 as I'm now finding out. Could anyone please explain the difference
between Tomcat 4.1 and 5.5 in this regard, and how to fix the problem?
Sincerely
Ram

It is related to the spec versions they implement.
In Tomcat 4 you'll need to create a WEB-INF directory and (I think) add a
web.xml file. You can copy the web.xml from the ROOT webapp. You might want
to change the display name and description but you don't have to for a
quick test.
