RE: Tomcat

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sushama,

As far as I know, you have to describe each Servlet
that you deploy. Since you are creating a few of these,
you have probably noticed that you are doing a lot of
the same stuff. You might consider a framework like
Struts (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts), which eliminates
this requirement because the Struts action class servlet
fields all requests an passes them on to your beans.

At this point most people deploying Struts applications
still configure each one in the Struts Configuration file. You
don't have to, and some work being done with Dyna-beans
is likely to make it into the next version (maybe the next).

For Servlet development, I would take a look at Struts. It is
a fairly new package, but is very widely deployed. Struts
runs fine with Tomcat 3.3 or 3.2.4, which is the PTF version
of Tomcat, but I would recommend Tomcat 4.0.1+, due
to the Filter support, which provide a better Servlet  than
Servlets. Filters assume you will stage requests and pass
them through a dynamically configured pipeline, which is
more difficult to do with a Servlet.

Gary,
I will check that site. My servlets are in loose classes. I will try
.war
file.  I have not created a whole application. I just created 2-3
servlets
and using the Basic ASF Tomcat wizard I can deploy only one Servlet at
a
time. I can run as many JSPs as I want just by placing them in the JSP
folder. Is there any way to do the same for servlets.

Thank you for the help.
