Installing Tomcat API's - help!

I want to write Java Servlets for uploading to my webserver, but I can't find any documentation on how to install the Servlet API! I don't need a server, just the API's required to compile servlets. My questions are:
1) How can I install the API's so I can compile servlets
2) What do I need to do to get a servlet working on my webhost (they say they support servlets)

Ok, I've got the servlet compiling now - what do I need to do to get it to run on my hosts server?

I need to install servlet-api.jar in the libext folder.

Hi I am doing a tutorial on struts 2.0.11.
i need to install servlet-api.jar in the libext folder which I have created inside WEB-INF
Now I have downloaded servlet.api which is in the zip form.
When I extract the files. Its giving me two folders
1. javax
2. META-INF
Inside javax there is a folder called servlet. Inside servlet folder there are
a) bunch of call files
b) http folder
c) resources folder
Inside http folder there are
a) class files
b) properties files
Inside the resources folder there are
a) dtd files
b) xsd files
Inside the META-INF folder there is the manifest.mf file
I just need servlet-api.jar
I think that I have extracted the contents of servlet-api.jar by using the extract feature of winzip.
Do you think that by just changing the extension of the file from servlet-api.zip to servlet-api.jar it will do the trick or do i need to do something else.
Please guide

Hi ^^,
your replies were very helpful. I did try to check the lib folder of the webserver and there was not servlet-api.jar. However I downloaded a dummy project and it did have servlet-api.jar in it, so I am ok for now.
thanks and regards,
PrashantYou should not be doing that. Always use the one from the application server which you're going to use. Otherwise you will possibly get in runtime trouble due to version differences.
The actual location and filename of the servlet API might differ per application server implementation. If it was for example Tomcat 6, it is the servlet-api.jar in the /lib directory. If it was for example Glassfish (the current release), then it is the javaee.jar in the /lib directory.

Error while installing DI API (32 bit) for SBO 9.0 PL 05

Dear Experts ,
I'm trying to install version 9.0 (32 bit) on my machine (windows 7 64 bit) . Everything is installed successfully except DIAPI . I'm not able to install the DI API. I try to uninstall / install many times but without luck . Cleared the SAP folder, temp folder but still when it comes to DI API installation it just failed.
Any help would be much appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nagarajan,
Thanks for your prompt reply. The installation setup is on my local machine and i have the local admin rights on machine machine. And I don't have any problem in installing other components including server tools, server and client etc.
Friday I changed my computer name keeping SBO 9.0 instructions in mind (not to include any special character in computer name) and then I uninstall sap 8.82 from control panel , everything related to SAP was removed. Then I try to install SAP 9.0 PL 05 .
Server tools -- > installed
Server -- >Installed
Client -- > installed
SDK -- > Installed
DI aPI (32 but ) -- > Error -- > Another version is already installed .
I looked in control panel again -- > nothing there.
Then i again uninstall everything (for V9.0) -- > delete sap folder from program files (x86) restart my system --> again same error regarding DI API.
This error was showing me the registry value so I search the registry and found there that DIAPI related version 8 is still there .
So I took registry backup and try to rename registry key and value but with no luck . Still i was not able to install DI API
So today morning I delete the all the references from registry related to that value (the one i was getting showing Another version is already installed). and I start getting this error i.e. the network related error which is 1316.
I restore the registry backup to Friday's backup and then again try to install but I'm getting 1316 error constantly.
Try to clean the registry and fix the registry errors with CC cleaner but nothing is happened still stuck with 1316 error.

"Invalid DOS version" error message when installing Tomcat in Windows98

I tried to install Tomcat 5.0 in Windows 98. At first, it produced "Out of Environment Space" error message. I then changed the "Initial Environment" from Auto to other values (bigger than 2816) for both startup.bat and shutdown.bat.
When I restarted the Tomcat, it produce "Invalid DOS version" error message. I thought about updating the DOS but previously when I had WinXP installed in computer, I couldn't access to the server due to the dos version issue.
Is there any way to handle this? I would really appreciate the help:) Thank you very much..

no, use the serial number listed on the page where you downloaded acrobat 7, not your acrobat serial number

Can we install tomcat using BO installer files

Hi Everyone,
We want to install Business Objects with Tomcat but on 2 separate servers. Tomcat in one and the rest of the BO Servers in another. Can we use the installer files provided by SAP to install just the Tomcat? If yes what should be the right order, install BO servers first and then Tomcat? Your help and suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
The sequence to setting up a split deployment is to first install the BO Services and CMS on one server (note: deselect the WACS option) and then secondly setup the Web Tier (using the bundled Tomcat software) on the second server.
PS: I prefer rather to use the custom installation option as then you have more control over the components been installed.
After installing the 2 servers, you will have to adjust ceratin configuration files on the tomcat server to point to the correct CMS.
For example:
if ypou have the following servers:
- Server 1 (i.e. bodev) for the BO services
- Server 2 (i.e. webdev) for the Web tier
After the installation the web server will have references to the CMS as follows: webdev:6400, this will have to be changed to bodev:6400 where the CMS is located.

Error installing Tomcat

Hello,
I'm installing Tomcat on a Windows ME machine. I've set the CLASSPATH to C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3, the JAVA_HOME to C:\jdk1.3.1, and the TOMCAT_HOME to C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3. The error I'm getting when I use the startup command is below, with the result that Tomcat is not starting.
Unable to set CLASSPATH dynamically.
Note: To set the CLASSPATH dynamically on Win9x systems
only DOS 8.3 names may be used in TOMCAT_HOME!
Setting your CLASSPATH statically.

Does anyone have an idea about what the problem might be?
Thanks greatly,

I've set the CLASSPATH to
C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3This seems not very useful. Are there any classes in this very directory? Forget about it, and have Tomcat take care of it.
TOMCAT_HOME to
C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3.I think you could eve forget about TOMCAT_HOME. Tomcat will use the directory of the batch files as its home, if not specified.
Note: To set the CLASSPATH dynamically on
Win9x systems only DOS 8.3 names may be
used in TOMCAT_HOME!So: change the directory name to C:\tomcat and try again. Then you'll at least eliminate one possible cause... Tomcat puts no stuff in the Windows registry, so you savely rename the directory.
What about setting JAVA_HOME? I thought that was the only one that could be required... Like:
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3
Out of environment spaceThis implies that your WinME cannot handle any more of the "SET A=B" commands in the startup batch file. This will indeed mess up the script's behavior, as Tomcat tries to create the actual start command using such SET commands. Even prior to caring about classpaths etc., this definitely needs to be solved.
In Win9x one could click the left upper DOS logo in a DOS box (or right-click a shortcut or .bat file) to change the environment space from "auto" to some large value. Maybe it helps... What about WinME?

I don't know, but I would assume that the MBA can install and can run Autocad with Boot Camp.
The question is more, can the software be effectively used with such a small display.
Audocad and vector packages such as Adobe Illustrator are typically run using large screens, so a lack of display real estate may mean the process is frustrating, even if it is possible.
I face the same thing - I am considering an MBA 13" and need to run Illustrator, and that would mean a lot of scrolling.
I think you would be advised to ensure you bought an MBA with a high specification of processor and memory to give yourself the best chance of success.
Is there a Mac version of Autocad you could switch to, to make for less complication? I've managed to shift all but one of my Windows applications to OS X now, and only occasionally use Windows on the system.

Hi!
What you did is correct,
To install odbc you just have to copy the files inside instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip to C:\OracleClient64 as you already did.
When you run odbc_install.exe it popup a cmd prompt for very short period of time. It´s fine.
What it does is to create the values you saw in the registry, an thats why if you run it a second time it said that already exist. With that, you have installed odbc, now you can test it following this link:

Hope it helps

How to completely remove Safari and reinstall. I don't have Safari on my Mac, yet, it says I can't install the newest Safari because a newer version is already installed... Help?

Okay. So, Safari was giving me some trouble, right? So, I thought I would delete it and reinstall it. I never had a problem doing so before, right? So, why not? I did, and then, when I tried to reinstall it, it tells me I have a newer version already installed. Can someone help me out here?

Hi..
Are you running Lion v10.7 by chance even though your profile indicates v10.6.8 ??
I ask because you can only reinstall apps using Lion Recovery
Much better to ask for help with Safari here before trying to delete the app and reinstall.
Is the Safari app still in the Trash by chance?

Can't Get My Servlets to Run in Tomcat. Please help...

Hi!
I've been banging my head against the same brick wall for a day and a half now and am getting pretty desperate...
I installed Tomcat 4.1.24 with no problem and successfully ran one or two of the example servlets. However, I can't get my own (working) servlets to run in either ROOT or any other folder that I create under webapps. If I move my servlets into webapps\WEB-INF\classes, though, they run fine!
Using 'x' represent the folder I've created, I have placed a servlet called FirstServlet in x\WEB-INF\classes. I have also placed the following web.xml file inside x\WEB-INF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>FirstServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/FirstServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
[I have also tried omitting '/servlet' above and tried changing the name of the url-pattern.]
In addition to this, I have tried editing the server.xml file by adding the following context:
<Context path="/x" docBase="webapps/x" debug="0"
reloadable="true">
</Context>
Despite all of this, I still continue to get the error message 404: The requested resource is not available.
Can anybody please give me some idea of what I'm doing wrong or am failing to do??
Many thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.
Jan

Hi, Sharnee.
Thanks for taking the time to email me. However, I really don't need to test my servlets, since (a) they all work under the JSWDK Web server and (b) the one that I am attempting to test ('FirstServlet') works fine when I place it in webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes.
In answer to your previous email, the URL I have used in attempting to run my servlet (with the servlet in ...\webapps\x\WEB-INF\classes, of course) is:
http://localhost:8080/x/servlet/FirstServlet
In desperation, I have also tried each of the following (with similar lack of success):
http://localhost:8080/webapps/x/servlet/FirstServlet
http://localhost:8080/ROOT/servlet/FirstServlet (after copying the servlet into ...\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes)
http://localhost:8080/webapps/ROOT/servlet/FirstServlet
Any suggestions?? I'm really frustrated, since the basic process that is required seems so straightforward, but simply isn't working for me!
Thanks in anticipation.
Jan
