Hello. I'm trying to learn J2EE and I have a beginners book which uses
Sun's J2ee server, and apache server on windows XP. I have Apache server 2.1.0.55. The book wants me to copy stuff into Apache's webapps directory. But, when I search my install directory, I cannot find such a subdirectory under C:\Program Files\Apache Group However, when I do a find, in Program Files, I find a few: C:\Program Files\netbeans-4.1\enterprise1\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7\webapps C:\Program Files\netbeans-4.1\enterprise1\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7\server\webapps A search on My Documents shows up empty. So, do I need to create webapps under Apache Group? or do I use one of the webapps that I searched for. The books is mostly Sun J2EE centric, so it has no instructions on Apache server. I'm a bit confused here. thanks. |

I think I solved my own problem. I have been installing apache server
2.1.0.55 and I haven't gotten my stuff to work. One main reason is because /webapps/ was missing from the install. I then try installing Apache Tomcat 5. That seems to do the trick. However, I'm not quite sure what the difference is between the two. I guess Tomcat is an add on to apache that allows for Java scripts and servlets. I don't know, I just tried it on whim last night and it worked. Will have to read up on it later. Anyways, thanks for listening to me complain! |
