Struts installation

[meena latha]

Hi all
I am trying to install struts.I used this website
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/three/index-7.html
to create struts application.I have installed Eclipse 3.1 and added Tomat-plugin.When i typed http://localhost:8080/StrutsProject in my browser.
I am getting the below error

 
HTTP Status 404 - /StrutsProject
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
type Status report
 
message /StrutsProject
 
description The requested resource (/StrutsProject) is not available.
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 

But my tomcat is working fine.
Then i created a very basic TomcatProject without any struts.
But again i got the same error window.
Not sure what should i check to solve this.
Any help regarding this will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Ramya

Hey,

It might be that Tomcat doesn t know where to look. Did you put your project next to the other Tomcat examples? Tomcat will look into that directory and if you put your project there with jsp pages, at least something should show.

If you want your project to be somewhere else, you need to modify some files. Which i can't remember. server.xml? and add a context there. Like so:

- <Context path="/prj" docBase="c:\prj" debug="0" reloadable="true">
  <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_prj_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true" /> 
  <Environment name="maxExemptions" type="java.lang.Integer" value="15" /> 
  <Parameter name="context.param.name" value="context.param.value" override="false" /> 
  <Resource name="mail/session" auth="CONTAINER" type="javax.mail.Session" /> 
- <ResourceParams name="name/session">
- <parameter>
  <name>mail.smtp.host</name> 
  <value>localhost</value> 
  </parameter>
  </ResourceParams>
  </Context>
 

This is in: /Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/conf


Hope it helps,

Dan
