I appreciate that this question may have been asked before, but I can't track
down an
easy way to move forward on it, so am turning to the list for help.
I downloaded and installed (WinXP) Tomcat 6.0.16 - its working fine and I have
created a small application with JSPs and Servlets and client side
JavaScript/Ajax.
It can only however be accessed via "localhost", e.g.
http://localhost:8080/MYAPP
If I try to access via my IP address, still on my own PC, that is for example
http://192.168.1.100:8080/MYAPP
I get an error message. Some of the HTML appears to format but the first JSP
access causes
the problem. Ok, so I believe that the security settings are defaulted this way.
Its just not clear to me where to start changing security settings and how many
I have to change
to allow only other PCs on my LAN (other developers in my group) to access the
server.
Is it enough to change the Catalina.policy file mentioned in the security
documentation ?
Any guidance would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles.
