Package: tomcat5-webapps Version: 5.0.30-5 To get web-apps to work I had to move TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/*.xml webapp's context files to TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/*.xml .
The main TOMCAT webpage localhost:8080 has links to jsp-examples and servlet-examples. And tomcat5-webapps provide all those applications files . But the examples.xml has just one context refering to examples application. I suggest that the examples.xml may be changed in the way to either include two contexts properly refering jsp-examples and servlet-examples respectively , or tho create another two .xml files for theese contexts.
