I have just installed tomcat5.5 on my fedora 7 box together with the example apps. They all run just fine, but when i create a blank jsp with only text in it, tomcat won't run the jsp. I'm not if it's fedora, java or tomcat to blame, but I have the default GNU java installed, and I have installed the "jdk-6u1-linux-amd64.bin" from sun.
