I have a couple of questions about the configuration differences between TC 5.x and TC 7.0. But first, let me tell you what I have done and what issues I am facing.
I was able to successfully install
Tomcat 7.0 on my machine (Win7Pro). I put my existing app in the webapps directory. After working through some issues with taglibs I was finally able to see my login screen. If I log into the app however, I get an 'IE cannot display the webpage' message. I am still seeing the following output in catalina log:
I thought if I could do a system printout from my logon
servlet then I would atleast know that I was hitting it. I opened my servlet in netbeans 7 and see ' package javax.servlet does not exist' with various other errors. I use command prompt to compile my code so I take a look at my old classpath.bat file and compare. I had to change the paths but also copied the missing jars over. I reran the classpath.bat and and tried to recompile the servlet - a few errors disappear but I am still getting a lot.
classpath.bat
Command Prompt:
I am really confused as to what I need to update. Do I need to update each of my jars? Am I putting them in the right directory? I have the following jars in C:\Tomcat70\webapps\app\WEB-INF\lib jstl-1.2.jar, mail.jar and commons-fileupload-1.0.jar. Should these be there or in C:/Tomcat70/lib?
I just feel like the more I read, the more I am confusing myself. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
