How to access JSP and Servlet remotely ?
I have installed Tomcat 6 in my personal computer (Win XP).
However, I want this computer to act as server and I am accessing the JSP
and Servlet placed on this computer remotely (access JSP and Servlet from
another computer).
Remote computer connect to this Tomcat computer via private network.
Tomcat computer ip : 192.168.1.1
Remote computer ip : 192.168.1.22
I had tried accessing the JSP and Servlet on the Tomcat computer
(192.168.1.1) and it is successful. (http://localhost:8080/myfile.jsp)
So, my question is:
How do I configure so that I can access the JSP and Servlet from another
computer ?
(Means using 192.168.1.22 access JSP and Servlet file on 192.168.1.1)
I had tried http://192.168.1.1:8080/myfile.jsp and it failed.
*Please be note that, the computer installed tomcat is not a server, is just
a normal pc.
Thx in advance.

With a question phrased like that, you aren't going to get much help
here. Try reading this:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
and then re-phrase your question.

Ok... then I misread your post. Sorry about that.
Describe failed. Do you get a 404 page not found, a 500 server error,
some pretty browser message about not finding the server?
Windows XP SP2 and SP3 have the firewall enabled by default. If the
server is one of those OS's, you'll have to add an exception for port
8080 to allow client computers access.

Two options:
1. Install tomcat on the remote computer
2. Setup filesharing on the remote computer and make sure the user
tomcat runs as on the local system has privileges to access the share.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I really really appreciate your details instruction in the help.
Finally I can access it remotely. :jumping:
You are really a great problem solver.
Giving a very good directive instruction.
I already configure in my personal firewall.
I never noticed that is the windows firewall making me trouble.
Because in my personal firewall setting is configured to ignored windows
firewall setting.
Really Thanks a lot.

No, nothing like that. If your Tomcat access works when you do it from
the same computer where Tomcat is running, but does not work when you do
it from another computer, then there is simply some communication issue
between the remote computer and the system where Tomcat runs.
There may be lots of reasons for that, and you have to eliminate them
one by one.
Step 1 :
On the computer where Tomcat is running, open a browser and try
"http://192.168.1.1:8080/myfile.jsp"
Does it work ?
(I mean, not "localhost", but really "192.168.1.1" as the server address)
Step 2 : are these two computers really on the same local network,
without any kind of firewall or router between them ? (a hub is ok).
(because if they are not, addresses of the kind "192.168.x.y" will not
work, they cannot cross a firewall or a router)
Step 3 :
On the computer where Tomcat is running, is the Windows Firewall service
active ? If yes, turn it off and try again.
Step 4 :
try this :
On this computer : Remote computer ip : 192.168.1.22
open a command window, and enter "telnet 192.168.1.1 8080"
What happens ?

How does it fail ? What do you mean exactly ?
Do you mean that when you start a browser on "remote computer" (the one
with the ip address 192.168.1.22), and asking for
"http://192.168.1.1:8080/myfile.jsp" you get an error page in the
browser ? what does the error page then tell you ?

That should not matter in this case.
Except if the Windows Firewall is active on this XP computer and does
not allow connections on port 8080 of course..
