finding my tomcat on my machine

First, my computer is windows 7 64bit, with xampp(apache, php, mysql), vmware server, java installed.

http://localhost => auto redirect to http://localhost/xampp https://localhost:8333/ui/# (vmware server web access page) C:\xampp\tomcat (tomcat folder) C:\xampp\htdocs\ (php files directory)

i've tried to place a blank jsp file to C:\xampp\htdocs\jsp\test.jpg and run http://localhost/jsp/test.jsp, there is a text display

cannot find current JDK installation

now, i want to make my machine to run jsp, when i enter http://127.0.0.1/examples/index.html, there is a tomcat web server page error

HTTP Status 404 - /examples/index.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /examples/index.html

description The requested resource (/examples/index.html) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/6.0.16

i want to ask, where is my tomcat home directory? what is the url & port number to run jsp examples?

thanks

Tomcat Server Home  =   .\xampp\tomcat
Tomcat URL          =   http://127.0.0.1:8080/ / http://localhost:8080/
Tomcat Doc Root     =   .\xampp\tomcat\webapps\ROOT

There are a few things to note.

The readme file for xampp's Tomcat addon has what you are looking for http://www.apachefriends.org/winxampp/readme-addon-tomcat.txt It indicates that

Tomcat Server Home  =   .\xampp\tomcat
Tomcat URL          =   http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Tomcat Doc Root     =   .\xampp\tomcat\webapps

Tomcat example Root =   .\xampp\tomcat\webapps\examples
Tomcat example URL  =   http://127.0.0.1/examples/

So your web applications should be going under the .\xampp\tomcat\webapps directory

Also what version of the JDK do you have installed? The error message cannot find current JDK installation indicates that you don't have a version of the JDK installed or setup properly.

The default Tomcat installation directory should be: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0
