Tomcat/JSP

[Jon.Trav]

I'm trying to call a jsp page when tomcat is started. I tried putting
it into the web.xml file in the conf folder. it says it can't find the
class. The jsp page is in the ROOT folder.

This is the right floder list

/tomcatdir/webapps/myproject/index.jsp

/tomcatdir/webapps/myproject/WEB-INF/web.xml

/tomcatdir/webapps/myproject/WEB-INF/classes/myclass.class

/tomcatdir/webapps/myproject/WEB-INF/lib/mylib.jar

call index.jsp into your browser by
http://localhost:8080/myproject/index.jsp

bye bye!

I got that to work, but I want it to run automatically when the tomcat
service is started. I read that if you put it in the ROOT dir and the
ROOT web.xml file it would work with the load-on-start parm. This is
saying call not found.

if you want to start your application with
index.jsp you put this code in your web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>My Application</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

the welcome page is index.jsp.

Hmm.. I think JSP's cannot be run as "init-on-startup" modules.
You need servlets for that. Which makes quite a lot of sense:
JSPs primarily output documents (primarily HTML) -- and where
would you output the document with no browser.
