Displaying a .jsp page using Tomcat Server

[Abder-Rahman Ali]

Hello,

I made a "Hello.html" page, and displayed it using the "Tomcat"server using the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/Hello.html

But,when I tried to display the other page (JSP page) that I created which is the "Hello.jsp" page using the following URL:

htt://localhost:8080/Hello.jsp

I got the following error:

HTTP Status 404 - /Hello.jsp

Why am I having this?

Thanks.

Where you put that Hello.jsp ? , From the URL it seems that you stored it into webapps/ROOT directory .

Are both Hello.html and Hello.jsp placed in the same directory?
If yes then there should be no problem in accessing the JSP.

Hope this helps

It is placed in: C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps\ROOT

I noticed the problem.The "Hello.jsp" file was still in "Notepad" format.

I wrote the script inside "Notepad" and then saved the file as "Hello.jsp",but it remained in "Notepad" format.

How can I obtain the ".jsp" file?

Notepad format means.. It appears in Notepad icon.. That doesn't mean its in Notepad format(.txt). If you still have doubt then open the file and copy/paste to a new notepad and save it as "Hello.jsp" .. Look at the quotations i used for filename.. You save it with the quotations in the filename..

As said by Sagar, merely having a notepad icon does not mean that the file is in notepad(.txt) format.

Check the extension of your file, if it is Hello.jsp.txt, then simply rename it to Hello.jsp.


Hope this helps

You can check the extension such:

Click on TOOLS (FILE-EDIT-...-VIEW-TOOLS)
Go to folder options.
Uncheck the option "hide extensions...."

And click on OK.
You'll see the extension of the file, you can rename it.

In future if your jsp pages are being saved as txt,
then,
when you save the file, instead of mentioning the format as .txt, mention it as ALL files.
