Hi,
I have a date.jsp which will return todays date.
I have deployed this date.jsp under C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\WEB-INF\date.jsp
but i m getting the error "The requested resource (/date.jsp) is not available."

I tried placing the date.jsp in C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\WEB-INF\classes\date.jsp.
this also did not work.
please hepl me.
thanks in advance
suseela

Suseela,

First of all, could you please read the ranch's Naming Policy and change your name accordingly ? Thank you :thumb:

this also did not work. please hepl me.


I'd suggest that you read some basic documentation on web application. Things you put under WEB-INF are not directly accessible. They are hidden from the client. For the moment, try to put your JSP file at the context root (C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\), or in a directory below it (C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\jsp\)

I have tried placing date.jsp under C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\date.jsp.
even though I am getting the same error "The requested resource (/JspProj/date.jsp) is not available."

I should have asked this at first place, but how are you trying to access the jsp file ?

Files under the WEB-INF directory are not directly accessible to the web.
Either move it out from under WEB-INF or use a controller to forward to your page.

So the date.jsp has to be under
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\WEB-INF\date.jsp
or
C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\JspProj\date.jsp

which one is correct.I tried both the ways.
but i got the same error "The requested resource (/JspProj/date.jsp) is not available."

whenever I made change ,I do restart Container.

1. What do you see when you type access http://localhost:8080 ?
2. Try renaming your application folder in lowercase : jspproj
3. Please copy/paste the full error

I reckon somethings wrong with your jsp and it is not compiling , thats why you are getting this. Can you paste you jsp here as it is? Also try to post the server logs, stacktraces if any.

Hi suseela pennaluru


Just try your jsp files, copied , c:\tomcat\webapps\root\urdir\filename.jsp

Then try or

just invoking from your browser
http://localhost:8080/dirname/filename.jsp

just check whether the request is coming or not

Here is date.jsp

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JSP Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="ffffcc">
<CENTER>
<H2>Date and Time</H2>
<%
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
out.println("Today's date is: "+today);
%>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I tried copying the date.jsp to C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\jspproj

and tried to access JSP from this url:http://localhost:8080/jspproj/date.jsp

but I am getting the error below

HTTP Status 404 - /date.jsp

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /date.jsp

description The requested resource (/date.jsp) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/4.1.36


When I gave the url http://localhost:8080/.It is displaying tomcat home page.that is index.jsp

Did you touch any configuration files in Tomcat ?

Please retry by following these steps :
1. Make a directory called "jspproj" under webapps
2. Put your JSP file in it
3. Make a directory called WEB-INF under "jspproj"
4. Create a file called "web.xml" under WEB-INF
5. Copy/Paste the following code into web.xml :

6. Restart Tomcat
7. Access http://localhost:8080/jspproj/date.jsp

(Directories and filenames are case sensitive)
You should have the following structure :
- webapps/jspproj/date.jsp
- webapps/jspproj/WEB-INF/web.xml

I have added the web.xml under C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\jspproj\WEB-INF\web.xml as above in the reply.

I have restarted the Tomcat server.
but I am getting the same error again

HTTP Status 404 - /date.jsp

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /date.jsp

description The requested resource (/date.jsp) is not available.

some where I read in web application deployment that we need to change the C:\Tomcat 4.1\conf\server.xml

<Context path="" docBase="" debug="0"

Is it something to do with above context path?

What did you change ? You're not supposed to touch server.xml
