Webapps Folder ?

Hello,
i have made a small website; All its class files are in folder
c:\tomcat\webapps\examples\web-inf\classes\mysite\
and all of the jsp pages are in
c:\tomcat\webapps\examples\jsp\mysite\
but, somebody told me there is some procedure to be followed like ...
PROCEDURE
make a folder named "mysite" in "webapps" and then make a folder
"web-inf" and then folder named as "classes" and keep class files there.... Then set class path.
i am using tomcat 4.1.27
Now my question is,
Please tell me these things,what to do?,where to keep class files and jsp pages, and how to change classpath.
And also please tell me if i have to edit some other files like web.xml etc...
Thanks in Advance ....
you can also contact me at [email protected]

Normally, the structure is like this:
webapps/
webapps/myapp/
webapps/myapp/images/ (or other special content folders)
webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/ (should be all caps, I think)
webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/
webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/
webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/src/
In the src directory, I put the web app class file sources in their package structure. I have a build script that compiles them to the classes director. In the classes directory goes your compiled class files in their package structure. I'm assuming you now about packages and directories (if not, you should start with something other then JSP).
In the lib directory goes and jar files for other library packages.
In the WEB-INF directory itself is the web.xml and any tag library definition files, etc.
I usually just put my JSP pages into the myapp directory itself, but some people will put them in a jsp subdirectory there or something. I don't find that useful, personally.
As for WAR files, I don't use them during development, only when needing to deploy the app. It seems to me a waste of time to create it and let it unpack to test.

Missing webapps folder in UCCX

Hi All,
Webapps folder is missing in this path C:\ProgramFiles\wfavvid\tomcat_appadmin\ and I am not able to login to the appadmin webpage.
Please suggest what needs to be done.
UCCX version is 7
Thanks
Bhavna

I think you need to login to appadmin page
so you can let it as fresh install with the following steps
on the server through cmd prompt - type in CET - bring up the object editor - select "com.cisco.crs.cluster.config.AppadminSetupConfig - in right hand side select the row go to second tab and change the "setup state" to "FRESH_INSTALL" from drop down menu.
Login into Appadmin with the user "Administrator" "ciscocisco"

How to access beans from different folder

hi guys,
currently i have different folders in the webapps folder found in Tomcat 4.1. I was asked to centralised the codes(that is used in all JSP file) so that it will be easier for future maintainence. After realising that I cant use the jsp:include tag, I have plan to use JavaBean so that whenever the jsp page is called it will access the JavaBean to retrieve the arguments. I cannot retrieve the arguments from the URL directly because the JSP files are embedded in a portlet.
So is there any way I can read the JavaBean when my jsp file is in the different folder???
*Each folder in the webapps directory is a seperate context/web application.
Any help is greatly n deeply deeply appreciated.

As u have said i have to write myself (store data
accessed across applications). Wat do you mean by
that? Isit I have to store the values in a table
first?Yes, that's the general idea. You will have to setup a db and
some tables for shared data across applications (say one user signs
on to one application and his credentials should be carried over when
he accesses the other application via a link in the first). The
implementation is very dependent on what it is that needs to be shared
and other requirements around it (like, if its required to have a timeout
value and so on). I have never done such stuff myself, but know of
projects which do so quite succesfully.
cheers,

Creating a folder in web application directory?

Hi
I have a web application which contains some jsps and servlets and i am running it on Apache Tomcat 4.1. The name of my application is MyApp which contains all the servlets and jsps.
In order to deploy the application i have placed the MyApp folder in the 'webapps' folder of Tomcat. Now in one of my servlets i.e. 'DirectoryCreator', i am trying to create a folder i.e. 'Directory' in the MyApp folder. The problem is that i dont want to give an absolute path to the File class constructor. The class files of my servlets are in classes folder i.e. MyApp \ Web-INF \ classes.
I have tried:
File f = new File("/Directory");
f.mkdir();
but this creates the Directory folder in my C drive.
Please tell me how i can avoid giving the absolute path.
Thanks.

if the code to create the directory is a servlet, you can use
String path=getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
//getRealPath("/") will return the actual path on your machine of the base directory
//of the webapp. getRealPath("/SomeDirectory/SomeFile") will return the real
//path of SomeFile
File f=new File(path + "/Directory");
if(!f.exists())
f.mkdir();if the code is in a .jsp file simple replace getServletContext(). with application.

I am using Apache tomcat 6.0.37, eclipse 3.7.2 release, tomcat plugin :com.sysdeo.eclipse.tomcat_3.3.0
Please let me know where i am going wrong.

I have done all those settings but still read the 'Eclipse tomcat run time' and repeated the settings accordingly. Still not not getting output.
-I exported the file to destination webapps folder and clicked 'finish'
-when i select 'run on server'
-the tomcat gets started and 'http status 404' page is displayed in browser
I even tried this
- manaully started server
-exported as .war file to webapps but does not get exported, doesnt get deployed and nothing gets displayed in the console
-when provide the link the same page is displayed
One alert message is displayed in the markers 'Classpath entry C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/lib/servlet-api.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.'
I have added servlet-api.jar to the library but still getting this message so tried to adding in classpath (as provided in websites) that also didnt work.
Next what to do i dont understand.

Tomcat unable to display my webapps

Server: Apache - Tomcat
For some reason some of initial servlets and html files are working and visible. But I am not able to access any html or servlet files in a new folder in the "webapps" folder.
+ is it because of some improper mapping of servlets? (but why shoudn't the html files be visible?)

If you have an application called myapp, then myapp will go under the webapps folder. Your html and jsp files will reside under the webapps/myapp folder. Your class files will reside under webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes folder or under webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib folder if your class files are in a jar.
So how exactly are you trying to access these files?

Can't reload webapp after javamail sent

I'm not sure if this is a tomcat, javamail or servlet question. I've got a webapp that works fine. I can reload it fine by copying a new .war file to the webapp folder. The webapp has a servlet that gets loaded on startup and it uses javamail to send mail under certain circumstances. I'm using the latest version of javamail. After mail is sent (and it's sent successfully), I can no longer reload the webapp.I use Transport.send() to send the message. During reload, all the files in the webapp get deleted except the javamail JARs, and deleting these fail, because they are "in use". Anyone have any clues on this?

Deploying Webapps in clustered environment

Hi All,
We have started the installation of BI 4.1 SP3. We have 3 Application servers on 3 machines (with only one CMS). We have a seperate server for the Tomcat.
We have installed the Tomcat too on the seperate machine.
We did create the BIlaunchpad.properties, CmcApp.properties and opendocument.properties files in the Webapps folder (under BOE).
The properties of the files looks like below,
[email protected]:6400
cms.default=USHPEWSAPP743:6400
Still, we are not able to access the CMS and Launchpad.

Is your configuration any different in the clustered environment? Are you using cache-coordination/synchronization in TopLink?
Any idea of what the application is doing that leads to the server running out of memory?
You may wish to use a memory profiler such as JProfiler or JProbe on the server to determine the cause of the memory leak.

Forward a page back a folder?

i want to forward the jsp page like...
pageContext.forward( "update.jsp" );
but the update.jsp is in one folder back
as in its in the main webapp folder and the other page im in calling this update.jsp page is in a folder called Updates/

You can use either page reletive path or context relative paths to specify the forward.
For example if your project's directory strucutre is like this
/rootfolder/somefolder/update.jsp
/rootfolder/somefolder/thirdfolder/somefile.jsp
if you want to forward somefile.jsp to update.jsp you can do this inside somefile.jsp:
<jsp:forward page="/rootfolder/somefolder/update.jsp" />
<%-- Here the URL is relative to the context / , hence it is known as context relative URL --%>
<jsp:forward page="../somefolder/update.jsp" />
<%-- Here the URL is relative to the page somefile.jsp , hence it is known as page relative URL --%>

Deploy purges everything in the folder

Hi!
I have a simple webapp, which helps me browsing some files. I copy these files to the webapp folder.
When I redeploy the application, the tool deletes everthing in the folder.
Can I reach other areas of the filesystem?
Or what should I set to keep those files there? Is there a safe place for them?
MySystem: AIX, oc4j, java servlets
Thanks,

Open each magazine one at a time. One of them is trying to get you to update, buy a new subscription, or restore an earlier issue. It may even be tied to a publication you have deleted. I hate those things.

Servlet - Writing to the webapps directory

How do i do this?
I have a servlet in /MyServlet

Please help

i don't know the absolute path though?
i have tried getRealPath() but that gives "/MyServlet"Your ServletContext is not aware of any absolute paths on your file system, just real paths within the context of your web application.
I meant that you would need to know the absolute path to the webapps folder or a File object that points to a document in the webapps directory.
I am not sure what your requirement is or even why you feel you need to create docs in this directory. Seems dangerous to me.

How to deploy a Web Application in Apache Tomcat?

Hi,
I am a SAP Master Data management guy.
But I have been assigned some Java J2EE work.
I need help.
I want to deploy a JSP Page in Apache Tomcat 5.5.26 Server.
The procedure I followed is:
I wrote a JSP :
helloworld.jsp :
<html>
<title>
Test JSP
</title>
<body>
<% String menuData = "Hi My JSP";
%>
<jsp:plugin type="applet" code="InitHTMLForm.class" codebase="./WEB-INF/classes"
width="250"
height="50"
jreversion="1.5.0_15"
>
<jsp:fallback>
Unable to start plugin!
</jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>
</body>
</html> This JSP is embedding an Applet Code.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Random;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Event;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
public class InitHTMLForm extends Applet {
public void init()
setBackground(Color.blue); // Set background color to blue.
setForeground(Color.white); // Set foreground color to white.
setLayout(new FlowLayout()); // Set flow style.
ActionListener l= null;;
Button b = new Button();
add(b);
b.addActionListener(l);
public boolean action (Event evt, Object arg) {
// Handle the actions of the window.
// Button hit
if (evt.target instanceof Button) {
getFirstName();
return true;
// Text field data entry
return false;
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 8));
g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25);
public void mouseClicked (Event e)
int c =e.clickCount;
System.out.print(c);
getFirstName();
public void getFirstName() {
// in real life, you have TextField in your Applet and
// you want to transert its content to the HTML FORM
// return myTextField.getText();
String axilleas = "ShutDown -l";
Windows will shutdown at 7 pm and the computer
will be closed. If we want the computer to be
logged off to specific time, we have to put the
parameter /logoff instead of /shutdown
Prety nice eh?
Runtime nikos = Runtime.getRuntime();
try
nikos.exec(axilleas);
catch(IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
} The Applet is working fine with itself.
I have tested it. It logs off my Computer.
Now, the point is the JSP is failing to load the Applet in the web browser.
I have followed this deployment structure.
Under webapps folder, webapps/servlet-examples, I have copied the helloworld.jsp.
Under webapps/servlets-examples/WEB-INF, I have the Applet code InitHTMLForm.class.
The web.xml is under the webapps/servlets-examples/WEB-INF.
I have this structure of the web.xml:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>helloworld.jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>helloworld.jsp</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>helloworld.jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/abcd/helloworld</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app> I have html page called Test.html which is placed under
/webapps/servlet-exapmles/
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form name="myform" id="myform" method="post" action="abcd/helloworld">
<input type="Submit" value="Submit">
</input>
</form>
</body>
</html> Now, my first problem I am unable to access the html page from internet browser:
http://localhost:8080/abcd/helloworld
It is giving page not found error: 404 but when I am accessing the JSP by giving:
http://localhost:8080/servlets-examples/helloworld.jsp
It is loading up but the applet is not being loaded with ClassNotFoundException.
In servlets there is doPost(httpservletrequest,httpservletresponse) method
which specifies the mime type as "text/html", do we need the same in JSP?
Anyhow the html page should be accessed.
Please help me out.
Regards
Taton

1) Check if the Applet Code is placed in the correct folder. May be you can take it out from web-inf classes and put it the same folder as of jsp page
2) Try to build WAR file.Place the WAR file in Tomcat Web-apps directory. That solves many problems.
