I couldn't make servlet work!

[Dennis Huang <De...@datacom.com.au>]

Hi:

I spent whole day trying to make servlet work, but I couldn't. First I
created a context 'myapp' in admin and also a directory in the same name
under webapps. I then copy almost everything from 'examples' to 'myapps'.
All jsp files work and all beans on myapps/WEB-INF/classes work! However
none of servlets works. I tried to find out the reason by checking files
like server.xml, web.xml, and also FAQ in tomcat web site, but I still can't
get it wrok. Can someone please help me get through this?

BTW, all servlets work OK on /examples.

Thanks,


Dennis Huang

You don't really have to hit return, the reason you don't see the
prompt is that it has scrolled off the screen, since Tomcat has
continued to produce output after it went into background. Hitting
return does help to reassure oneself though.

The warning message you get from apache means that your copy of Apache
was compiled with different options than the one used to compile
mod_jserv.so. It is safest to compile mod_jserv.so yourself, from the
Tomcat source, using apxs.

Erk!  Seem like I am putting my foot in my
mouth each time I post.  Should it check out
carefully before pushing the send button.

Ok, I had to hit return to get the prompt.  But
why do I have to do that?  Would this be a
problem if I had it started up at boot time?

Many thanks,
-Boon

You need to run in in the background if that is what you are looking to
do.  Basic UNIX shell stuff, you would invoke it like this:

sh /whatever your tomcat home directory is/bin/startup.sh &

Hope this helps.

Hi folks,

Pressing ahead (with the warning message), I
found that startup.sh won't run in the background.
In other words, I am not getting the linux prompt
back when after startup.sh tomcat.  I had to
cntrl-c to get back control.  Anyone has any
idea what's going on here?

Thanks,

My apologies.  It was Tomcat 3.1

mod_jserv.so and -DEAPI

[Boon Yeo <cb...@netspace.net.au>]

Hello folks,

I have recently downloaded Tomcat 3.0 and
it's associated mod_jserv.so.  I have read
the tomcat_ug carefully, and followed it's
instruction almost to the letter.  But I've got
this following message.

In the error_log file, there is this message:

> [Mon Sep  4 16:34:56 2000] [warn] Loaded
> DSO libexec/mod_jserv.so uses plain Apache
> 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI!
> (please recompile it with -DEAPI)

I am puzzled.  Why would the kind folks at
Apache provide us with a mod_jserv.so
which needs to be recompiled with -DEAPI?
