Hi,
I have written JSP pages and i am not able to run those files in ecllipse.Can any one tell me the actual procedure of running JSP files written in ecllipse
Well, you can't. You need a servlet container, like Tomcat or Resin. You can get Eclipse plugins that can control a container, and give some the impression of running JSP in Eclipse, but they're not, and it's a very important distinction to make
But don't bother with that just yet, get a container and learn how to set it up manually before leaning on an IDE to do it
Hey sindhu,
I can help you with detailed instructions on setting up a jsp page from scratch and deploying it on the container. Tell me where exactly are you in now?
u can reply back to me at pmrraghav@hotmail.com.
Thanks,
Here are few checklists:-
1. Download the right Java SDK version compatible with Eclipse version. (go through the system requirements once- It might suck for beginners).
2. See that you have the class path set. Go to "My computer" right click - properties and add {destination dir -C}\java-sdk 1.4.2_09\bin to it.
3. Download Eclipse.
4. To run JSP pages you need to have plugins which otherwise don't come along with Eclipse. Download WTP extract it-- and copy all the required files from plugins directory into Eclipse plugin directory.
5. Run eclipse and create a simple jsp page.
6. Start the server and view the output.
