Jsp hello world program problem

**Bricklayer** · 22-07-2010

Hello,
I test JBoss today and begins at the same time in JSP. I try to make a simple helloworld JSP. The page appears without problem, but my deployment descriptor is apparently not accepted by JBOSS. What disturbs me greatly.

Here is the file hierarchy
helloworld.war
|
-WEB_INF
| |
|---- Web.xml
---- Hi.jsp

Web.xml

Code:

<Web-app> 
<display-name>Hello World</ display-name> 
</ web-app>

I can not specify welcome-file-list or servlet. My vesrion of JBOSS is 5.1.0GA with jdk 1.6.0_14. If someone could tell me my mistake, that would be great.

I guess you have the following code in the correct position in your project

Code:

<html> <head> <title> JSP Test </ title> <%! String msg = "Hello, World.";%> </ head> <body> <h2> <% = msg%> </ h2> <% = new java.util.Date() %> </ body> </ html>

I just installed Tomcat (Linux) and I can not make my first hello world!
I did the following in the webapps dir:

Code:

myapp /
index.jsp
WEB-INF /
web.xml
lib /
classes /

I reboot tomcat and error on the url:

Code:

http://localhost:8080/test/
http://localhost:8080/test/index.jsp

Can anyone tell me about the App web.xml (no class, just a little index.jsp). Should I change the serveur.xml? Thank you.

Refer to the example with Tomcat, copy the web.xml of the example and then modify. Think of using an IDE like eclipse c bcp is simpler. I think you are not using an integrated development environment and that is why you are facing such problems, you should definitely use one of them.

You can try the following code at the beginning of your code

Code:

<? Xml version ="1.0" encoding ="UTF-8" ?> <web-app> <description> 
My first application </ description> <welcome-file-list> 
<welcome-file> index.jsp</ welcome -queue> </ welcome-file-list> </ web-app>

This is what I do for a fortnight, I come from php. I just want to build JSP pages, servlets no, no calls to EJBs. Hence the simplicity of web.xml

passing php jsp is another debate (I will not mention here, but politics ...).
So my web.xml looks to be good. Should I do something else, eg on the conf / server.xml? Small precision I'm not the server administrator, I just rights in a subdirectory of webapps /. The administrator should I create a tomcat user?
