IIS and TOMCAT

[ellen berry]

I can watch .jsp at http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/index.html within TOMCAT. and http://localhost/examples/jsp/index.html within IIS.
When I created a folder named test in C: and copied the index.html to \test, I changed the server.xml in tomcat\congif.,
but I canot watch it at http://localhost/test/index.
Please give me some suggestion.

you have to register your application first with server. Otherwise the server will not know your application.
hope help

Hi, Yang: could you give me a detail? Thanks a lot

[ruilin yang]

Have you registered your html page as an application with server? You need to register (create) your application with server and during which your root directory is mapped to a url. After that the server will know your application and you should be able to display your page.

Hi, Yang: Thanks a lot. But I still have no ideal how to register
the application.

Try this thread, and let us know if you have more trouble. http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/003689.html I should add that you can ignore the apache stuff, since you're using IIS, and start reading at the first of my posts.

Hi, Mike:
In fact, I add the context stuff within <contextmanager>.
<Context path="/test"
docBase="test"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
it is at c:java/tomcat/test.
I can get it at http://localhost:8080/test/file.jsp
But it still can not find it within IIN.
I do not know why. Since I can get it both http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/file.jsp and http://localhost/examples/jsp/file.jsp, I think IIS works.

[ellen berry]

I still confuse, How can I decide the path and docBase in context.
for example:
<Context path="/examples"
docBase="webapps/examples"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>

Since file is in c:/java/tomcat/examples/jsp/file.jsp.
Which file do the mapping,so I just get it at localhost/examples/jsp/file.jsp
Please give me some help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,there:
I changed the docBase c:/java/tomcat/test
The problem is still there.

[Venugopal nandikolla]

Hi ellen,
If you have created a folder called test as c:\test then in ..tomcat/conf/server.xml just specify it as below

<Context path="test"
docBase="c:\test"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>

then restart your tomcat.

open the browser and type http://localhost:8080/test/index.html


if you have any doubts then mail me at [e-mail]
