Minimal HelloWorld JSP

[arunhorne]

Hi,

I have created a small HelloWorld war with the following directory structure.

./HelloWorld.jsp
META-INF/web.xml

The HelloWorld.jsp is a valid jsp page. The web.xml file contains the following:

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//
DTD Web Application 1.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

<web-app>
</web-app>



When I compile this into a war (I have tried using Ant and jar to acomplish the task) and copy it into the server deploy directory (I am running on the minimal config) I get a message saying - "waiting for an appropriate deployer" - but I think the war is totally valid?

Any ideas?

WEB-INF/web.xml?

Except I think you might need something more in the web.xml for Tomcat. And what is the name of the WAR file?

And the minimal config doesn't have a servlet container on which to deploy a WAR - at least not on JBoss 3.2.2.

I will retry it in the default server mode as I am using JBoss 3.2.2 - perhaps that will let the war be deployed... didn't even cross my mind that might be the case. Many thanks.
