Re: Tomcat Server on iSerie

 So...forgive me for being dense on this...I haven't worked with Tomcat
and jsps for about 3 years and I find that I'm having to relearn all
this again. 

Sucks getting old (although it beats the alternative of NOT getting
old!). 

Anyway,  so I created an http server instance running on port 8050.  I
created a TOMCAT server(IBM's version for now...I'll get an updated
version from Apache later on today) and it's running on 8051 and I named
it "mytomcat".

I created a directory structure like this:

/ASFTomcat/mytomcat/webapps/apps/

I added a tomcat mount point to my http server config that looks like
this:

JkMount /thankyou.jsp mytomcat
JkMount /servlet/* mytomcat
JkMount /apps mytomcat
JkWorkersFile /www/litesout/conf/workers.properties


And I created a simple html and a jsp named thankyou.jsp. The relevant
portions of each look like this:

HTML>>> <form action="/thankyou.jsp"  method="get">
     Enter your name: <input type="text" name="username">

JSP>>> Your information has been processed.

        Thank you <% request.getParameter("userName") %>

=========================


Pretty basic, just to test it.

I put the html page in the /www/myhttpsvr/htdocs  directory on iSeries.
And I put the thankyou.jsp file in /ASFtomcat/mytomcat/webapps/apps
directory on iSeries.

So, I access it like this:

http://mysystem:8050/mypage.htm

When I hit the submit button, what I get is a directory listing showing
my thankyou.jsp and a couple of other files I happen to have in the
/asftomcat/mytomcat/webapps/apps  directory.

What am I missing?  A configuration entry somewhere, I'm sure, but I
can't figure out where.

If you need more information, please ask.  

Thank you,

Shannon O'Donnell

No. You can run as many different versions as you want.

Will it matter if there is already another version of Tomcat Server
running on the iSeries?

Shannon,

Don't use the version of Tomcat IBM provides. It's a very old version
and has had some functionality removed from it so that WebSphere looks
better. A newer version of the Apache web site is a better bet.

Hello,

 

Will I encounter a problem trying to run two different versions of
TOMCAT servers on my iSeries (V5R3)?

 

Someone here (not me) installed a version of Tomcat awhile back, before
I got here, that they must have downloaded from the web. It uses the
startup.sh scripts to run the CATALINA.bat startup procedure. Just like
we all used to do when we had to do it all manually, before IBM was nice
enough to include Tomcat with HTTP Server.

 

That existing TOMCAT server is currently being used for some production
stuff and I don't really want to touch it.

 

Instead, I would like to simply create a new TOMCAT server using the
HTTP Admin pages.  

 

As long as they are not running on the same port, there shouldn't be a
problem running both versions of Tomcat, should there?

 

Thanks in advance,
