problem viewing jsp page on Tomcat

[Nachiket_2]

Hi..
I have tomcat 4.1.24 installed as a part of secure web server on an alpha 5.1 machine. I can see the default web page when i do
http://myip:8080 . I can also see the jsp pages that come with the installation. My problem is I dont want to make .WAR files. I want to dump a single jsp page some where on the machine and I should be able to see the page using http://myip:8080/jsp_page.jsp . But I am not able to figure out where to put this page and what changes I need to make to the configuration files.

Thanks,

A WAR file is a packaged web appliction, like a jar. Tomcat unpacks it for the first time and cretaes a directory with the same name under web-apps. After unpacking the .war it will create the necessary entry within the .xml config file.

Have a look into http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html

for more information about developing servlets.
