What is strange is that the very same applications that did not work in Slackware 10.1 using tomcat 4.1 do work in windowsxp using tomcat 5.5 . I was trying to run examples from a book on JSP "The complete Reference" and I placed the sample code in slackware under the webapps directory, something like this: webapps/jspcr/chap05/examples/somepage.jsp. Tomca4.1 does not find the jsp but will find other applications I have under webapps. This same directory structure was used with Tomcat5.5 in windows and I have no problem with it: the page somepage.jsp, for example, shows up.
I am not sure at all what the problem is. And I don't know if this helps me, but is there a way to log the errors so that I can at least try to figure out what's wrong ? -----Original Message----- From: Zack Grafton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 6:12 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Jsp gest 404 error Hello, Everything in the WEB-INF directory isn't directly accessible; meaning, if you type in something like http://localhost:8080/myapp/WEB-INF/index.jsp, you will get a 404 error. Where you should place them is entirely dependent on you. You can write controller servlets and use a RequestDispatcher to forward to a jsp in your WEB-INF directory. If you are just using jsp pages, don't place them in the WEB-INF directory. Zack Coelho.Joao wrote: > I am using tomcat 4.1.
