1. Servlet and Tomcat Tutorial
ECT 7130

2. Download Tomcat
Put under C:\ and unzip to C:\apache-tomcat

3. Starting and Stopping Tomcat
In command line window, set JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_03 (depends on your jdk directory name, for example, maybe yours is jdk1.6.x_xx)
C:\apache-tomcat \bin>startup
C:\apache-tomcat \bin>shutdown
Open a browser and type in

4. Web Application Directory Structure
webapps
liangweb
Static files, such as HTML files and JSP files in the directory that is the document root of your Web Application
*.html
*.jsp
WEB-INF
web.xml
classes
*.class
Packages (e.g., chapter35)
*.class
lib
*.jar

5. Compiling Servlets
Set classpath=%classpath%;c:\apache-tomcat \common\lib\servlet-api.jar
Create directory
c:\apache-tomcat \webapps\liangweb\WEB-INF\classes
Copy slide/book/FirstServlet.class into c:\apache-tomcat \webapps\liangweb\WEB-INF\classes

6. Download www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/intro6e/supplement/web.xml to
c:\apache-tomcat \webapps\liangweb\WEB-INF
Run by typing

7. For JDBC Programs Create a directory liangweb/META-INF
Create a file “context.xml” with the following content
<Context path="/liangweb" docBase="liangweb" debug="5“ reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container“ type="javax.sql.DataSource” driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver url="jdbc:mysql://localhost;DatabaseName=javabook" username="scott" password="tiger"
maxActive="300" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" />
</Context>

8. Put mysqljdbc.jar under apache-tomcat-5.5.28/common/lib/
You have to startup your MySQL database (or MySQL service) with “net start mysql”

9. Run JDBC Servlet Programs
Under slide/book, you can find SimpleRegistration.html and SimpleRegistration.class. Do the following tasks:
Put the html file under apache-tomcat/webapps/liangweb. Put the class file under apache-tomcat/webapps/liangweb/WEB-INF/classes.
2. Startup tomcat, and type the URL in a browser.
3. Test whether you can successfully insert the record you input in the form into the database.
4. Before you do that, you have to create a table "Address" with the lastname, firstname,..., zip fields in your MySQL database.
You can also test Registration.html/class, RegistrationWithCookie.html/class and RegistrationWithHttpSession.html/class in a similar way.

10. Part II: JSP Startup tomcat
Copy the following jsp files to apache-tomecat\webapps\liangweb and run
CurrentTime.jsp
Factorial.jsp
ComputeLoan.html and ComputeLoan.jsp

11. ComputerLoan1.html (modify this file according to Page 31 of Chapter 40 ppt)
Copy Loan.java to liangweb\WEB-INF\classes\chapter35\
Compile it into Loan.class
Do the same for ComputerLoan2.html + Loan.class
Do the same for TestBeanScope.jsp + Count.class
Do the same for FactorialBean.jsp + FactorialBean.class
Do the same for NewFactorialBean.jsp + NewFactorialBean.class

12. The JDBC Example
Copy DBLogin.html, DBLoginInitialization.jsp, Table.jsp, BrowseTable.jsp to liangweb
Copy DBBean.java to liangweb/WEB-INF/classes/chapter35 and compile it to DBBean.class
Startup MySQL
Run
