how to display a jsp page using jboss under linux?

[kondetisree]

Hi
I am a beginner to JBoss
I am working in linux RedHat 9.
I have installed jboss3.2.3 as a web server and have saved a my welocme.jsp file in the path:
..../jboss-3.2.3/jsp/welcome.jsp
the code in the welcome.jsp is just:



<%=out.println("Welcome to JBoss World "); %>




I run the jboss and then try to open the file in browser by this url:

http://localhost:8080/jsp/welcome.jsp

but in the browser I see the error:

HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request
type Status report
message No Context configured to process this request
description The server encountered an internal error (No Context configured to process this request) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

----
please give me an idea where should I place the .jsp file and What Context its not configured?
Do needful.


Thanks.

Create directories
c:\app
c:\app\META-INF
c:\app\code
c:\app\code\META-INF


Create a file c:\app\code\META-INF\web.xml

This is web.xml:
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

<web-app>
</web-app>

Create a file c:\app\code\index.jsp

This index.jsp:

<%=out.println("Welcome to JBoss World "); %>

cd c:\app\code\
Issue the command:
jar -cvf c:\app\indexdv.war META-INF/*.xml *.jsp

cd c:\app
Create file c:\app\META-INF\application.xml

This is application.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<display-name>index</display-name>


<web-uri>indexdv.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/</context-root>




Issue the command:
jar -cvf indexdv.ear META-INF/*.xml indexdv.war

Copy indexdv.ear to %JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy

http://localhost:8080/index.jsp now works

You can add subdirectories, graphics and any other files here:
c:\app\code

Be sure to amend the jar command to add those directoris like:
jar -cvf indexdv.war META-INF/*.xml ce/*.* css/*.* ads robots.txt *.htm *.html *.jsp

You can also amend the content root to something besides root:
<context-root>/jsp</context-root>
