after installation, in IE access: http://localhost:8090 , if the normal display of the following interface, the installation is successful; otherwise, in Tomcat In the log folder under the installation directory, look at the logfile Stdout.logto find the cause of the error.

Note: The following <tomcat-home> indicates the installation directory for Tomcat .

second, deployment applications

1 . Copy the application folder to the <tomcat-home>/webapps folder, and the name of the folder is the name of the virtual directory of the application; For example, if you set up an application in < Tomcat-home>/webapps folder under the ABC folder, the address of the application is accessed in the browser as http://localhost:8090/abc

2 , a driver for the database connection pool that the application requires, such as Classes12.jar,commons-collections.jar, Commons-dbcp.jar,commons-logging.jar,commons-pool.jar, etc. copy to <tomcat-home> \common\lib , such as:D:\Program files\apache Software foundation\tomcat5.5\common\lib;

3, the new file in the <tomcat-home>/conf\catalina\localhost directory abc.xml, this file is used to configure the ABC application use of the database connection pool , the contents of which are as follows:

<context path= "/abc" docbase= "/abc" debug= "5" reloadable= "true" crosscontext= "true" > <resource name= "The database connection pool you specified" auth= "Container" type= "Javax.sql.DataSource" Username= "The database user name you specified" password= "The database password you specified" driverclassname= "Oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" Url= "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ the database IP address or host name you specified: 1521:pkuoa" Maxactive= "maxidle=" 3 "maxwait="-1 " Removeabandoned= "true" removeabandonedtimeout= "a" logabandoned= "true"/> </Context>

4, solve the Chinese coding problem

Modify the <tomcat-home>\conf\server.xml file, find the HTTP corresponding connector block, add the following: Uriencoding= "UTF-8".

Note: UTF-8 is a coded format used by ABC applications.

5, solve the path is not found the XML parser problem

Configure Classpath, as follows:

Open Tomcat monitorand switch to the Java page as shown in the following illustration:

In the classpath column, add the following:

C:\ Abcconfig; C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\crimson.jar;

Among them,C:\ Abcconfig is the directory where the configuration file is stored;C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\crimson.jar is the XML parser that is required Crimson.jar the path to the file.

6 . Modify the configuration in the confirmation application

a) under the Web-inf folder web.xml

I. confirmation that there is no debugjsp information in the document;

II. The confirmation file contains the following information: (Metabase connection usage)

<resource-ref> <description>db connection</description> <res-ref-name> The database connection pool you specified </res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref>

Third, FAQ

1, Some machines can not access the local service through http://172.0.0.1:8080 , in this case, through the http://localhost:8080 to visit.

2 . If there are other Web services running on the Tomcat server, it is recommended that you do not rashly specify 8080 as http when you install tomcat Port, it is easy to conflict with other web services; It is recommended that you specify a port number that will normally not conflict with other Web services as Tomcat .

3 . When installing Tomcat , do not install Tomcat under a path that contains spaces, otherwise when the path is very long and there are spaces in the path, there is a problem loading the DLL needed for decryption. If it is already installed, the solution: Place the configuration file and decryption requires config in a short path without spaces and add the path to Java path via the tomcat5.5 Monitor console.

4. If the application uses its own XML parser, it needs to use its own XML parser, such as Crimson.jar files, copied to the jdk1.5 installation directory under the JRE directory under the Lib directory, such as:C:\Program files\java\ Jdk1.5.0\jre\lib;
