[Ami Ambre]

I have Configuered Tomcat in Eclipse.
By unzipping tomcatplugin for Eclipse in Eclipse\Plugin.

I have set up it Environmental Veriable

CATALINA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0

Classpath=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\common\lib\struts.jar

JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4

PATH=C:\j2sdk1.4\bin



My plugin is working that's why i have got it 3 new icons in the Eclipse toolbar.These icons are for starting, stopping and restarting Tomcat.Then I configure the plugin Windows -> Preference. And the select the Tomcat tab.Here i select the Tomcat version to 5.x and enter the <TOMCAT_HOME> folder.I had leave Context decleration mode to Server.xml.
I had Leave the advanced tab as default. JVM Settings should have a JRE selected.
And the source path should have ticked automatically compute source path.start by creating a new project. Select File > New > Project and examine the new project wizards contents. There is a new entry available in the Java section of this project wizard. Tomcat Project & then I had added 1 jsp file which displaying current date & time.
Then I start Tomcat with the help of start Tomcat icon available on the Toolbar My Tomcat is starting with showing message in Eclipse Console View INFO: Server startup in 9031 ms
I start a Tomcat from start menu.And then i open a browser by giving http://localhost:8080/Name of the project/jsp file name
But i got a error is page can not be displayed.


So please any body help me & give me proper solution for running jsp.

Check that Tomcat 5 is using port 8080 by default. A simple check would be to put http://localhost:8080 into your browser and see if it goes to the Tomcat welcome page. If you just get an error page, try that url with port 8180 instead.

I use MyEclipse so I setup my app servers slightly differently to you but it sounds like you have your plugin for tomcat configured OK.

So are you saying that when you start Tomcat using the quick button and navigate to .../Name it work fine but when you use the menu button you get an error?
