My First JSP Page on CentOS
This section provides a tutorial example on how to create the first JSP page with JSP code to test the JSP support of the Tomcat Web server on CentOS systems.
The next thing I need to test is to create a Web page with JSP (JavaServer Page) code.
1. Create a text file called hello.jsp with the following JSP code:
<html><body> <% out.println("Hello world! -- From JSP"); %> </body></html>
2. Save this JSP file to my application directory. Make sure that it has "read" permission for all users.
# cp hello.jsp /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/herong/hello.jsp
3. Run a Web browser with this URL: http://localhost:8080/herong/hello.jsp. You should see the "Hello world! -- From JSP" message in the browser.
Congratulations again! Now, I have confirmed that Tomcat server is running as a Web server that supports JSP pages on my local CentOS system:
