Hi,

I have been trying to implement the first example in the book: "JSP Web Development", and I get the 404 error:

type Status report

message /begjsp/index.jsp

description The requested resource (/begjsp/index.jsp) is not available.

I have restarted the tomcat server after creating the application directory (begjsp-ch01) in the webapps directory. I have also been checking numerous other posts on different forums and I have noticed that the server.xml file has also been updated to reflect this new application.

The Tomcat homepage shows up correctly and the example JSP pages work correctly.

If I move my index.jsp file to the examples directory it still doesn't work.

Only thing else is that I noticed a none fatal error on startup of the tomcat server: something like - "NULL relocation target has occured in .."

I am Hello World new to JSP's so any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Steve

make sure that if you create a new folder, say "test", under webapps, that you also include the appropriate subfolders, even if they will not contain anything at the time. It is necessary for these folders to exist. I am not sure why your file will not work with it in the examples folder... especially if you say the other jsp examples work... only thing i can think of is when you moved your file over into the examples folder that you did not restart tomcat.

hope this helps
