Hi I have just installed tomcat on my windows xp machine.I downloaded the Apache-Tomcat version 5.5.15(windows executable) and also the jdk 5.0.
When I enter
http://localhost:8080/ into the browser, I get the tomcat Jakarta page-no problem.
When I try my first test jsp page (main.jsp)with the follwing expression in the body section of the jsp page:
Hello! The time is now: <% = new java.util.Date() %>
I get the same line in my webpage:
Hello! The time is now: <% = new java.util.Date() %>
The java expression is not evaluated, no error messages.
Anyone have any suggestions what I should be doing?
Thanks

First, you've got an extra space between the % and the =.
You should remove it.
What file did you put this line in ? (filename and directory)

Hey Thanks for the help,
I have the file main.jsp in a WebProject folder which is a subfolder of the Tomcat Root folder(Root/WebProject/main.jsp).
From what little I know its supposed to be a simple test. I have no servelet in the page so am I still to have created WebProject\WEB-INF\web.xml? If so what will it contain in the servlet tag? I have not edited any other XML files.
Any Ideas/Suggestions?
