newbie - program structure
ok, I am used to Java and PHP and had a question about
where to put jsp/servlet code. what is the best thing
to do?
I am used to just putting it anywhere I want as long
as I sperate it how I would like BUt with jsp it seems
you need to tell it the actual folders the jsp is in.
what I was looking for is like, here is my normal web
page strucutre, full of sub dirs.
/path/to/my/www/root/index.html et al
when I see a jsp file, to send to tomcat.
is this possible, I am not sure how the magic happens.
where does the jsp file go? in the normal www
structure and the processing is passed on that file to
the tomcat process for execution, correct?
I don't see how to set it up recurvisly it does not
seem to work? I know I can do *.jsp etc.
Thanks

Re: newbie - program structure
Posted by ma...@yahoo.com.
I see, thanks, very enlightning.
ok, so I want to create my own directory for my
applications as a root and then have my apps under
here.
I set this up in my server.xml file first correct?
then I can reference this in the workers2.properties.
I notice that the workers2.properties can be changed
on the fly, can the server.xml? (I am unwilling to try
due to potential issues. but it seems to state that
each app should have it's own entry in the server.xml
file? surely you should not need to restart the server
to add an application in?
so I am looking at server.xml and I see the examples
bit set up, but it is a little confusing
I see this ->
Define properties for each web application. This is
only needed if you want to set non-default properties,
or have web application document roots in places other
than the virtual host's appBase directory.
I see the examples section in there BUT what is the
best way to add my application ROOT?
thanks

Howdy,
If you're just starting out with servlets/JSPs/webapps, follow the app
developer's guide instead of forming bad habits ;) It's here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html
Don't worry about Apache front-end and JK or other connectors for now. Just
develop, deploy, test on tomcat-standalone first. You'll likely find that the
performance, including for static resources, is sufficient for your needs.

Re: newbie - program structure

I guess I am confused.
I set up my workers2.properties to link to
/exmaples/jsp/*
then when I type in the ip/port of myu web server (NOT
tomcat) /examples/jsp/dates/dates.jsp for example it
comes up.
SO
I thought hey, you don't I copy an example into my
main www dir and see if that works.
for some reason there are no jsp files in the
examples, they are all .java and .class. now I do use
java files but I guess they do not actually in it is
called by an htnl doc so not a big deal BUT why are
these no .jsp? I searched all the examples/jsp and
found no .jsp.
what the heck is going on?
correct me if I am wrong...
what it seems to be is that when you set say
/examples/jsp/*
that is then placed into the tomcat path. so if I
wanted to branch out my own stuff, I would need to add
a dir somewhere (I can look into that) and then link
to that, I guess jsp does not like the company of
other stuff, just likes to be on it's own.
still a little confused, and the file extensions! ???
