Hey Guys,

I have been working through the tutorial of building the Duke Bookstore app on the sun website:http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/JSPIntro3.html

I got the bookstore2app to run -displaying all the pages, using the cloudscape db etc. I fired up the j2ee server and deployed the app using the provided deployer tool.

I would like to move this app and deploy it using the Tomcat server. I copied over the .WAR file to the /webapps directory. When I restarted the tomcat server, the directory structure stucture for the app was created ok-
webapps/bookstore2.

When I try to access the app, I get the 404 error. I have tried different URLs and still cant get the start page to display. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
 
Sheriff

and what url are you using to access it?

Should be http://localhost:8080/bookstore2

It's case sensitive.

I have used the following and other url's as well:
http://localhost:8080/bookstore2/
and get the 404 error. When the j2ee server is fired up, I used http://localhost:8000/bookstore2/enter and it worked fine.

Also, I am able to run other .jsp files in the webapps/root directory.

The web.xml for this app is:

Also, I don't think Tomcat is seeing /bookstore2. I placed a basic html, which works with other apps and I get the 404 error. The URL is http://localhost:8080/bookstore2/
Is there a master file or something that I need to modify? Thanks

Create a welcome-file-list entry in your web.xml file so you can have a default page.

Just want to make sure this is right:
I have my J2EE_HOME =c:\j2sdkee1.3.1

The bookstore2 app works fine when I fire up the j2ee server under j2sdkee1.3.1/bin/j2ee.bat. When I close down this server and fire up the tomcat server, the app will not run.

Also,I did a search for welcome-file-list in my directory and didnt find any. I will keep banging at this. The index file does come up for other apps. I did put the welcome-list tag in my web.xml and the index page didnt load using url http://localhost:8000/bookstore2/

....

If anyone has any ideas on how to get the application to run in tomcat, Please post. Thanks

In a 2.3 DTD, welcome-file-list needs to come AFTER the servlet mappings.
In 2.4, they've lifted the restriction on the order of elements in web.xml

What version of Tomcat are you using? Have you verified that Tomcat is up and running correctly by accessing the default Tomcat page:


Check the log file either thru the console or the catalina.out file to see if the bookstore2 war file was deployed without any problems.

Tomcat version:
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9

Yes, verified tomcat is running.

Did not have a file named catalina.out.

Keep in mind that I used the delployer tool in j2sdkee1.3.1 to create the app. I moved the .war file over to the tomcat dir.

I can try running the war file on my machine if you like.
Check your private messages for an address to send it to.

The type database.BookDBEJB cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files



Is this an ejb app?

The implementation of the database helper object follows. The bean has two instance variables: the current book and a reference to the database enterprise bean.



Tomcat is not an EJB container.

JBoss is an open source EJB container that uses Tomcat as it's servlet/jsp engine.

That is the problem. Thanks Ben and everyone else that helped. I will look into JBOSS.
