Configuration and simple examples of Tomcat in eclipse
The configuration of Tomcat in Eclipse is a very simple job, as a novice programmer, I write down the process of this configuration and the simple example, and I want to give some help to the novice like me.
First, the tool download
Eclipse, the latest version of Eclipse is the Mars release. For:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Tomcat, the latest version is 9.0. For:
https://tomcat.apache.org/
I am using the Eclipse Luna version, and Tomcat is version 8.0.
Second, Tomcat
Tomcat is a green no-install software that extracts the downloaded Tomcat directly to a certain path. I unzipped the path to D:\tomcat8.0\apache-tomcat-8.0.14.
Startup.bat to start the Tomcat service, a black window will appear after double-clicking
Test Tomcat. Open your browser and enter it in the address bar
http://localhost:8080
Enter, if you see a JSP page from Tomcat, this indicates that Tomcat started successfully.
