Sathish,
Follow the following steps to compile your JSP files.
1) save all your JSP files in a folder by name "test". Place "test" in "webapps" folder in Tomcat server.
2)Start tomcat server
3)open IE and type following in the URL:
http://localhost:8080/yourfoldername/filename.jsp
example:
http://localhost:8080/test/input.html
If all your settings are correct, you can find your html page on IE.
4) Give inputs in your html file. Press submit button.
Note:
<form action="your jsp file name">
for example:
<form action="nextpage.jsp" method="post">
hope this helps

you have to set path for jdk
You can do that by setting env. varible in system properties/ advance/ enviornment variable
Go to System variable than click new
Variable name = Path
variable value = <JDK_HOME>/bin;
and I think you dont have to compile any jsp file just put that file directly in <tomcat_home>\webapps\ROOT folder.
then start tomcat and open IE and type following in the URL:
http://localhost:8080/filename.jsp
U must set the classpath
Assume that your the jdk floder is d:\sun\jdk\ and your os is windows
set the JAVA_HOME=d:\sun\jdk\
set the classpath=.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib;
add the path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;
then you can compile your .java source file;
if your file's name is test.java
enter javac test.java
At the time of compling JSP files in "http:/localhost/test/hello.jsp"
i got this error "http:/status 404" request resource is not avaliable.
Is there is any requirement to compiled JSP files before running in http loca host test\hello.jsp and if YES then how to complie
i hv already installed JDK1.6 in C:/Java and Tomcat 6.0 in D:/Tomcat also i have set all the environmental variables and Class Path as
"JAVA_HOME C:\JAVA
CATALINA_HOME D:\TOMCAT
PATH VARIABLES:
C:\Java\bin

first step is to set jdk path
java path(java istallation bin directory)
eg:
C:\j2sdk1.4.1_07\bin;
use the following step in windows2000,xp to set jdk path
1.Right click my computer icon in the desktop
2.select properties
3.select advanced tab
4.click environment variables
5.Select new from "user variables for user"
6.enter variable name=PATH
7.variable value=C:\j2sdk1.4.1_07\bin(your path)
8.click ok.
it will set java path permenently in your system

3.put our jsp file in that folder.
