Use JSP with Eclipse in Ubuntu

(1)Install Tomcat7 in Ubuntu:

1. It is very easy to install tomcat7 in ubuntu. Just refer to[1],

    (1)type the command:

   sudo apt-get install tomcat7,

    (2) check the website http://localhost:8080/

   In my version it is showed like this:

   
   

2. 
   

   2. (2) If you have already use the JavaEE eclipse, you can skip this step. Otherwise you need to install the JavaEE plugin[3] and JSTServer Adapters[4](if you ignore the JST Server Adapter you will not see the tomcat server).

   
   
   

   3. (3)Create tomcat7 server in eclipse, basically just “ click on Servers tab at bottom of eclipse. (If you don't see Servers tab,add the tab via Window, Show View, Servers.) R-click on Servers tab,New, Server, Apache, Tomcat v7.0 ”[2][6].

      In ubuntu the tomcat7's installation directory is usually“/usr/share/tomcat7”if you follow step1.

      If you run into some trouble like 'Couldnot load the Tomcat server configuration at /usr/share/tomcat7/conf.The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete/usr/share/tomcat7/conf/catalina.policy (No such file ordirectory)', follow the instruction[5].

   
   
   

   4. (4)Afterthat you can create a “dynamic web project” in the eclipse,create a .jsp file,

      writea hello world code lie:

      <%

   out.print("HelloJSP");

   %>

   
   

   run it, if you failed because of port is being used, stop the tomcatfirst with the command

   sudo/etc/init.d/tomcat7 stop

   or refer to[6]
