How to use Tomcat on the machines in Windows Lab

Note: Tomcat is available on a temporary basis during the semester.

  1. Copy the contents of your “jsp” folder(not the “jsp” folder itself – only the contents) on DCM.UHCL.EDU server to C:\jsp\ folder on the local machine.
  2. Start(or stop and start if it is already running) Tomcat server by selecting
    Start menu - > Program Files -> Apache Tomcat 4.1 -> Start Tomcat.
    Note: Please make sure that you have copied your jsp folder contents from Server to the local machine C:jsp folder before you start Tomcat Server.
  3. You can run your “jsp” and “Servlet” files at http://localhost:8080/csci/
  4. After you are done with your works, copy the contents of C:\jsp to a safe place, for eg. Your profile on your Windows account on the local machine Z:\.
    Note: The contents of C:\jsp folder will be erased once you log off from the machine. It is your responsibility to save your work to your profile space or elsewhere
  5. Stop Tomcat server by selecting
    Start menu - > Program Files -> Apache Tomcat 4.1 -> Stop Tomcat.
