DevOps, CI/CD and Automation

Hi
I cannot even get the basic demos in ./demo/java/xsql to work with this combination of technologies.

All the documentation I have found describes using XSQL with older Apaches and JServ. JServ is now replaced by Tomcat and Tomcat 4 configuration is much different from earlier versions of Tomcat. Apache 2 and Tomcat 4 are the "only game in town" now, so XSQLServlet must work with them to be taken up by professional developers. In practice, earlier versions, and JServ, are only of historical interest.

Despite that I believe I have guessed and made the correct changes to httpd.conf and web.xml to make the XSQLServlet work. But it still doesn't run.

I am running this on Red Hat Linux 8. Apache and Tomcat work fine otherwise, the CLASSPATH is set as specified and I have created the Alias etc.

It appears that the .xsql type is not being processed by my XSQLServlet, because calling up http://localhost/xsql/ brings up 3 raw xsql files in the browser.

Has anyone got this combination to work ? I've been at this for days and am driven half mad by it ! I'm sure its something small that I am doing wrong, but the complete lack of guidance anywhere on the Web means I am stumped.

But I still really want to get it working as this seems like a magnificent combination of technologies for so many professional IT projects. Many thanks in advance... for any advice at all.
