(1)Install Tomcat7 in Ubuntu:
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) 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)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)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]
