Hi,

You should be OK.
To test point your browser to http://localhost:8080 to see if you get the tomcat welcome page

Hi

Your config looks pretty much OK.

You don't "run" the JSP's in Linux, your JSP's are deployed to your servlet container (in your case Tomcat). Thus in summary, your next step would be to:

1. Either create your own OR download the web application that you wish to run (I assume it has JSP built in).
2. Deploy the web application to Tomcat
3. Restart the application server.

Depending on the way you define your context, you would be able to hit a local URL on your browser and the JVM/Tomcat will run your application and render your JSP.

I really suggest you read:

http://tomcat.apache.org which gives you an overview of how Tomcat works.

Also http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/ is also something that would help you understand how JSPs and servlets work

In my collage days i used to create war file and deploy it on tomcat .But it seems that they have exclude admin part into it.
Do they still follow the same procedure?

if you have any doubt, use Netbeans IDE

What kind of answer is this?

Hi,

For tomcat 5.5.x you can use the manager application to deploy your apps. Admin comes in a different archive and you have to install it manually

As per the previous reply, if you are trying to deploy a WAR file (for Tomcat 5.5.X or higher) simply drop it into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps - which will auto-deploy the application.

To see if the deployment was successful; tail $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out and in a separate terminal restart Tomcat.

Hope this helps...
