6- Open index.jsp. It contains the following code or put the following code in index.jsp
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <% String path = request.getContextPath(); String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+ request.getServerPort()+path+"/"; %> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <base href="<%=basePath%>"> <title>My JSP 'index.jsp' starting page</title> <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> <meta http-equiv="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2, keyword3"> <meta http-equiv="description" content="This is my page"> <!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"> --> </head> <body> This is my JSP page. <br> </body> </html>
7- The only line of code for our interest is following
<body> This is my JSP page. </body>
8- The other file of your interest is web.xml. Open the file and <welcome-file> tag should point to index.jsp
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
9- That’s it, no more coding and now we will deploy the web application on tomcat web server.
10- I am using MyEclipse 7.5, Tomcat is already configured with the IDE and you just need to run the server and your application is ready.
11- Tomcat is running now
12- Open browser and navigate to following URL http://localhost:8080/Helloworld/
13- That’s it, your first java web application is up and running.
