Hello Atishay, thanks for answer. The thing is I'm using Apache, I'm writing on
Perl or PHP, I know just basics of JSPs (as I have VB-ASP specialization on the past,
and tell the truth they're pretty close, at least familiar). I want to give my
clients access from their FTP account to one folder - public_html to control their
content, so thats why I need to deploy all not in webapps, but in htdocs. Because
other pages are served by Apache. Thts why I telling that it wolud be great to have
basic instructions about. I figure it out by myself - all works fine jsp and applets
erved by Tomcat, php,pl,cgi - by Apache, but it was pretty hard at start to make it
work together.
Thanks.

by default the deployment folder is webapps.

If u place any application in webapps it will be loaded automatically.
say i create a folder test in webapps. create a folder WEB-INF under test.
create a web.xml it containing the following
----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<display-name>This is a test folder </display-name>
<description>
Welcome to the test folder
</description>
<web-app>
--------------
this is the deployment descriptor specificallty for webapplication test.
for putting java beans u need to create a classes folder under WEB-INF
and all ur java classes go in there. if u create testClass.java under
WEB-INF-->classes folder then u need the following in ur jsp page to
access it.
=========
<jsp:useBean id="myclass" class="testClass"/>
=========
under test u can put jsp pages.
to access jsp pages u need to type
http://localhost:8080/test
test will be automatically loaded because appBase is webapps as per
our settings in server.xml
other wise we need to add a context in server.xml under <host> to load
the application.

Hello, also it would be great if they can give some information where
and how to place jsp pages if somebody want to use Tomcat with Apache.
I figure it out by myself after some hours of learning basics of JSP.
But tell the truth I never seen clear instructions how exactly newbie
can deploy the page or application. All books starts from
"HelloWorld.." but there no any word about ROOT, about how to use
custom directory under Apache or without it and things like this. I've
discovered that the balancers theme also looks like some kind of black
magic and not just for me.

True; but then, we'd risk lots of questions to the effect of, "my JSP is
slow (the first time)." ;)
It all depends on which questions you want to head off at the pass. In
both cases -- precompiled or not -- people will try to dive in without
having properly read all of the docs. I reasoned, having an app that
blatantly said, "customize me for your first webapp" may stem the tide.

Wouldn't it make more sense NOT to precompile the JSPs for one of the
sample apps? The "Sample JSPs" would probably be the most likely
candidate.

Sounds like you tried to customize one of the demo apps. This usually
isn't a good idea, since those JSPs come precompiled and are thus
hard-mapped as servlets in web.xml.
You want to start from scratch. Follow the instructions on the Tomcat
website for "first webapp" or something of that nature.
For the Tomcat developers: is there a need for a "blank" sample webapp,

Sorry, I still don't get it. Maybe my message is not clear and lead to some
misunderstanding. I had deleted the original index.jsp from tomcat
root\webapps\
root. But when i type http://get2gether.mine.nu:8080 . I still got back the
original index.jsp which i had deleted earlier. I tried your solution but i
can't find any file except with a file name called tldCache.ser . Sorry if I
have confused. Thanks again.
