Setup for jsp work

[AnilPrakash Raju]

Hi,
I am trying to setup to do some jsp work.
Can anyone help me with the setup.

i got my tomcat installed

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\project

Under the project folder I got the Web-INF folder

And the jsp pages



Where do I create the src directory to store the java files.(beans)

I got it at:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\src

And got a folder called project which stores the beans (i.e C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\src\project)

The classes files are located at:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\client\WEB-INF\classes\project



Now in the jsp page I call

<%@ page import="java.sql.*,project.*,java.io.*,java.util.*" %>

<jsp:useBean id="client" scope="session" class="project.Client" />


I am not sure if the setup is right.


The error I am getting is



HTTP Status 500 -

Tomcat set up is better discussed in the Tomcat forum.

Under the project folder I got the Web-INF folder
It should be WEB-INF.
It's case sensitive.

Where do I create the src directory to store the java files.(beans)
You can put your source wherever you want as long as the compiles class file s go under /WEB-INF/classes/{your package}


The classes files are located at:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\client\WEB-INF\classes\project

That looks good, assuming that 'project' is your package.

Thanks Ben,

Actually i forgot to compile the java in a specific package.

Thanks
