I am new to tomcat and servlets and am trying to deploy my first

  • 0

I am new to tomcat and servlets and am trying to deploy my first web application in tomcat and the index.jsp page is showing up blank.

It works fine in eclipse. I have the web.xml for the application setup to have the index.jsp as the default page. I am able to run the application and debug it in eclipse but when I export it as a WAR file and deploy it in tomcat and try to access it through a regular browser I get a blank page.

What am I missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
– Vas

    If you ever get a blank page, the most important information you (and we) need are:

    1. The request URL.
    2. The already sent data -if any- (webbrowser > View Source).
    3. The response headers (Firebug? Webdeveloper Toolbar?).
    4. The server logs (stdout, stderr, webapp).

    This usually indicate a wrong URL (to be proven by 1), or an exception halfway a JSP page (to be proven by 2 and 4), or an internal server error without an error page (to be proven by 3 and 4).
