to load a jsp from your app, you have to call it from a context-root that you mapped your applicaton to. For example, you mapped you application to: myApp, and you jsp at the root level, then you ccan load your jsp with the URL:
http://localhost:9080/myApp/myPage.jsp
or
http://localhost:9080/myApp/sub-dir/myPage.jsp
if your myPage.jsp is stored under "sub-dir" off the context root.
Hope this helps

hi..Binah...
thank u very much.but could u tell me where can we give the context path?suppose if my .war is in websphere\appserver\classes,can i give the context root like that?if so where can i get the context path option?
waiting for ur response...
thx..
seshu..

You can specify the context root for a web module during deployement using AdminConsole or while pakcaging your web components into a WAR using Application Assembly tool(AAT)..
context root for a web module is not the path where you have your module archives(WAR or EAR), it is simple unique name which will be added to the URL while accesing web components belonging to the respective web module.
Ex: As somebody said already,If the context root of a web module is myApp, and to access a jsp file use this URL
http://localhost:9080/myApp/index.jsp
Note: In WAS4.0 all URL names are case sensitive.

Wait a minute -- you DO NOT put your war in the /classes directory. You have to deploy it with the administrative console.
READ THE INFOCENTER!
That will tell you how to set up the context root as well.

hi..venu and kyle..
thx for advises,but here the process i did for my test.jsp is like this.

1.What is the error the browser is showing, is it 404 error again?.
2. Did you created a web component for test.jsp inside your WAR or you have just added the test.jsp to the WAR?
I bet nobody reaches this stage, but in worst case you need to check your transport settings for web container service(check if the port number is not 9080).
I leave this to big hand, who can give you better suggestions..

Hi..Venu..
the process i did is like this...pl try to spend bit time on this..today also i tried for this and got frustarted..
the procee i did is:
1)first i have written one test.jsp
2)i kept this in websphere\appserver\classes
3)i have created one test.jar with this jsp and i kept this in websphere\appserver\classes;
4)now i have opened AAT and it showed me one unamed.war under this i find websomponents option.after right click on this webcomponent and i added this Test.jsp to this unnamed.war.now i saved this war in websphere\appserver\bin directory.after saving this by right clciking this war it asked me for properties, there i have given the path as websphere\apperver\classes\Test.jar
5)now again in AAT i created one application with test.ear.for this ear i added this test.war.
6)while adding it self it was asked me context root
7) there just i have given name "web".
8)now i save that Test.eat and deployed that in workbench.(in AAT it self )
9)now i had test.war in mt Test.ear application.
10)now i have opened my console and by choosing the enterprise applications option it asked me to install.
11) there i have browsed for the deployed Test.ear and i installed that.
11) mean while i checked the jvm settings and hhtp service settings and all.
12)every thing is fine.
13) i stopped the server and restarted it.
14) now i am succeed in starting my Test.ear in the doown of petstore application which was already ther.
15)now i stopped the both websphere and http servers and restarted it.
16) now i opened my browser and typed http://localhost:9080/web/Test.jsp.
17)i got 404 not found error..

Hi Myrid,
Did u check whether the WebServer plugin has been regenrated,check the file plugin-config.xml and see whether webapp is mentioned there,if not
go to console and regenerate the webserver plugin.
The webserver plugin always refers the file for checking whether ur app has been registered and if not displays a 404 error.
If the automatic regeneration of plugin has not been set to true,this problems happens

And moreover u need not bundle ur jsp's in a jar if u enable file serving option of the webmodule to true.(I do this way Only)

[Paresh Sharma]

myid,
have u set the virtual host. The request from your webserver plugin has to reach the Application server.
Make sure there is an entry like "localhost:9080" in the virtual host settings.

hi..
really igot frustrated with this.iam struggling with this for last couple of days.i have checked every thing .every thing is fine in both console and AAT.i dont know why iam not able to run my jsp.so would u mind pl send me total process how to run sample jsp in websphere4.0.i'll be very much greatful about u.
waiting for ur respnse..
thx..
myid(seshu)

[Se Ravin]

Hi Myrid,
1) Create a jar file with a dummy resource,and while creating check the file serving enabled option to true.
2) Install the war into an application from WebSphere console.
3)After successful installation check whether
<WebSphere installed root>/installedApps/<webapp.ear>/<webapp.war> exists and copy ur jsp file into the foresaid directory
4)Check whether <WebSphere installed root>/config/plugin-cfg.xml is having an entry for ur webapp (just do a search )
5)If itz not there ,regenerate the WebServer plugin.
6)Stop Server and start,now ur plugin-cfg.xml SHOULD contain an entry for ur webapp.
7)Invoke ur jsp,Bingo itshould work.
If u still have problems,send me a mail to
[e-mail].
Dont worry U r not alone,I faced the same problem and finally i managed to trace the problem.
