servlets - how to ?

[john clarke]

Does anyone know of a good source of information to help me get up to speed
quickly on servlets running under jsdk2.1 ? I am new to java and servlets
(and the whole configuration) but a seasoned programmer so any help would
be most appreciated.
many thanks

Hi,

First Download tomcat 3.1 Servlet Engine..

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jak...se/v3.1.1/bin/

Just Unzip the file, it unloads in a sub directory named jakarta-tomcat.


All the information given below is there in a better way in the documentation

SET TOMCAT_HOME to the above directory
SET JAVA_HOME to your jdk1.2 directory

To Check whether servlets is working just execute startup.bat which will
start the TomCat Server..

now type http://localhost:8080/ from any browser, you should see the index
served from the Tomcat Server and from there everything should be easy...

Regards

Raj
