1. IIS and Tomcat - how to configure to work together

By: Emiley J. : 2009-09-01

Description: This tutorial explains how to configure your IIS (in this example IIS 5.0, since I have not upgraded yet) and Tomcat 4.1 xxx version (again since I have not upgraded yet). But the concept should be the same. So if you want to host some JSP files or servlets on your Tomcat which is installed in port 8080 and your IIS is installed on the same machine at port 80 and you want to direct all JSP files also to port 80 so that IIS can forward these queries to tomcat internally and respond. So the user does not have to type 8080 on the url. Well if you want to do that then these are the steps.

3. What are the different scopes in JSP?

By: Barbara : 2008-12-09

Description: The scope of an object describes how widely it's available and who has access to it. For example, if an object is defined to have page scope, then it's available only for the duration of the current request on that page before being destroyed by the container. In this case, only the current page has access to this data, and no one else can read it. At the other end of the scale, if an object has application scope, then any page may use the data because it lasts for the duration of the application, which means until the container is switched off.

7. Embedding a QuickTime movie in a JSP

By: Bruce W. Perry : 2008-11-24

Description: Similar to using the Java Plug-in, a JSP uses the embed tag inside of an HTML object tag to properly load one of Apple Computer's QuickTime movies. You must include the CLASSID attribute value exactly as the below sample jsp program specifies. You also must include the same CODEBASE attribute value. If the user has an Internet Explorer Windows browser, but has not yet installed the QuickTime ActiveX control, the CODEBASE attribute value specifies where the user can download it.

9. Writing your first JSP page

By: Bruce W. Perry : 2008-11-23

Description: A JavaServer Pages (JSP) component is a type of Java servlet that is designed to fulfill the role of a user interface for a Java web application. Web developers write JSPs as text files that combine HTML or XHTML code, XML elements, and embedded JSP actions and commands. JSPs were originally designed around the model of embedded server-side scripting tools such as Microsoft Corporation's ASP technology; however, JSPs have evolved to focus on XML elements, including custom-designed elements, or custom tags, as the principal method of generating dynamic web content.

10. Deploying an Individual JSP on Tomcat

By: Bruce W. Perry : 2008-11-23

Description: The easiest way to test a new JSP file is to place it at the top level of Tomcat's default web application. This application is located in the /webapps/ROOT/ directory. Tomcat 4.1.x compiles (or recompiles, if you are pasting a new JSP file over an old one) the JSP and display its response in a web page. You do not have to stop and start Tomcat using the Tomcat manager application for the new JSP file to be available to your web application.
