Although not a newbie to building websites in html and php, and physical computing in C/C++, I'm having a dickens of a
time understanding the documentation of Integrating Tomcat 7 with my existing Apache 2.2.22 on WinXP (company
supplied development pc, nothing I can do about that). Can I get a bit of handholding please?
I'm trying to evaluate a java servlet that requires tomcat.
Actually, if the purpose is purely to evaluate a java servlet, you do not really need
Apache httpd in front. Tomcat will act as a stand-alone webserver just fine, and will
provide access to your servlet.
The simplest under Windows XP :
- from the tomcat website tomcat.apache.org, download tomcat (the "Windows service
installer" version is easiest in this case).
- install it
- check if the Tomcat service is running. If it is, stop it (for the next step).
- under the top directory of that installation, find the "webapps" sub-directory. Copy
your servlet there (if it comes as a .war file) (*).
- start tomcat (the service)
- point your browser at : http://localhost:8080/(name of your servlet)
and there you go.
Then once that works, you can think about configuring Apache as a front-end to tomcat and
try that.
(*) if your servlet (actually, I suppose "webapp" would be a better name) does not come
packaged as a .war file, then :
- unzip or copy it in some new directory, to see what it looks like
- it should be a bunch of files under some top directory (say "myApp")
- copy that whole directory and all its files (including the top directory "myApp") under
the "webapps" directory of Tomcat, so that you have :
C:\tomcatx.y\webapps\myApp
- start tomcat and proceed like above
