Struggling with Hello World Java style
Its fun learning new stuff … especially after learning it! Today I’ve spent a couple of hours trying to get some preexisting Java servelet code compiled and running on my laptop so that I can make some (initially trivial!) changes to some output strings.
The goal is to get Eclipse, Tomcat, MySQL and Apache all playing nicely together on Windows XP. I installed XAMPP, the Tomcat addin for XAMPP. I already Eclipse installed with a PHP addin. After a bit of messing about, more googling, more messing about, I stumbled upon this guide which now has me tantalizingly close. I have a .war file. I have Tomcat running. Just a matter of connecting the last remaining dot!
