Tomcat / Java & JSP Setup

[stewarts]

Hello,

I have just purchased cPanel (copper) hosting & domain and I'm having trouble figuring out how I can setup / deploy a Servlet/JSP web application using apache tomcat. There doesn't seem to be any tool in cPanel that allows me to setup tomcat? I assume the server is pre-installed with tomcat server so maybe I just need to know the directory to upload the .war file?

Thanks
Stewart

Dear Stewart,

Yes, you can use Servlet/JSP web application using apache tomcat for your domain. Please provide us with the exact domain name in question or else email us at support@eukhost.com from your registered email address so that we will check whether the servlets has been installed for your domain or not. And if it’s not installed then we will manage to create/migrate your domain to the JSP/Tomcat enabled server.

Hey guys

I'm relatively new to web development, I have a lot of experience with C++, C, Java a bit of php and Symbian C++.

Would you mind If I asked you a couple of generic servlet / war file questions? I hope this is a suitable place to ask.

I have started to created a site using the google web toolkit (GWT). So far my server side my code inserts and selects from a mysql database using JDBC.

Having "built" everything where the appropriate javascript is created and all runs fine and accesses my DB using the tomcat server that comes with the GWT I want to make sure I am going to be able to deploy the site somewhere.

http://www.pimtext.co.uk/gwtTest shows everything I have placed on the server.
If I go to http://www.pimtext.co.uk/gwtTest/build/gwtOutput/pimtext.Start/Start.html it is not possible to add a new user because something is wrong with the set-up - the client side does not appear to be able to talk to the server side.

I hope it would not be to ambiguous to ask where you think I might be going wrong? My eclipse plugin for the GWT also has the ability to build a WAR file for me. What is a war file and is it appropriate to me.

The site is for a university project. I am hosting here and not on my university servers as they do not have tomcat servers for student use.

Everything works fine from my computer when using the tomcat server that comes with the GWT.

Many Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Dan,

I've installed Tomcat Servlets on your account properly now.. what you can do is to redeploy the WAR files into your site, once done the application will start working properly. You can check the working of Tomcat here : Test JSP page
