Tomcat5 on Mac OS X, problem with book or installation?
I am using tomcat5 5.5.20, Revision 3, java/tomcat5 from MacPorts.
I am following the instructions for the Addison Wesley book: "Servlets
and JavaServer Pages: The J2EE Web Tier" from the first chapter.
The first chapter may be found here: http://www.jspbook.com/jspbook-01.pdf
I am on the part where the author is creating the jspbook directory and
is placing a web.xml file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jspbook/WEB-INF
directory, and a jspbook.xml file in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
directory. I cannot get the webapps/jspbook directory to be recognized
by my Tomcat setup no matter what I do, after following these steps and
continuous restarting of the server. I am assuming that it is ok to
forgo the editing of the server.xml file like the book says.
This is the error I receive after retrieving http://localhost:8080 -
HTTP Status 404 - /jspbook/

Yes, it sounds like the instructions are for Tomcat 4.1.x.

Sorry, I didn't refer to the book, but just wanted to let you know
that the instructions for different versions of Tomcat can differ
across versions.
If the book is providing instructions for a much older version of
Tomcat, and if you are using a much later version of Tomcat the
instructions can be significantly different from my experience with
any software.

So far the above configuration looks correct to me.

jspbook.xml should not be placed under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps

In your case, it appears that the folder under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jspbook/
is empty and the directory listing is set to false.
It helps to set directory listing to true, because if you place a JSP
file other than
index.jsp under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/jspbook/ directory , or if the
directory is empty you will get the HTTP Status 404 - /jspbook/
In order to set the directory listing to true follow these simple steps
1) Open the web.xml file under $CATALINA_HOME/conf/ directory
2) Look for :
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
change that to
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

Once you set the directory listing to true, you should be able to see
the directory under
http://localhost:8080/jspbook/ which is currently empty.
Place some dummy JSP file under webapps/jspbook , either call it
index.jsp or anything else .jsp and you should be able to see its
contents from the browser by invoking
http://localhost:8080/jspbook/

Re: Tomcat5 on Mac OS X, problem with book or installation?
Posted by Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com>.
apologies for he late reply but I wanted to ask if the servlet-name and
servlet-mapping
and welcome-file-list from web.xml for entry jspbook have been entered
here is an example that may help (sub in jspbook)
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jspbook</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>package.jspbook</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-value>jspbook.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jspbook</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/jspbook</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Does this help?
