New to JSP, and this is probable a stupid question
My PC is currently running W2K with IIS. This is because most of the consultancy work I do is with NT and Visual Studio.
Anyway for reasons too complicated to go into I need to implement a website using JSP and HTML.
Now I've downloaded Tomcat got that working with IIS and I've downloaded the Forte Jave Development Suite.
I know that Tomcat is working because I can see the examples page with the following URL http://localhost:8080/index.html
I've set the Path to point to the bin directory for the Java SDK and created a java application in a different path. Also If I use the Servlet applications everything works fine.
However if I use the JSP examples then all I get is the following;
