Hi folks.
I have installed J2EE SDK 1.4_03 and I'm interested in using it to develop my personal website locally on my PC. At a later date I wish to upload it to a paid web host.
The reason I have chosen to run a server rather than just accessing html files directly from my hard-drive is because I would like to utilize SSI (Server Side Include). That's really all. I'm not really interested in doing anything too interactive between the viewer and the server! Not yet anyway.
I have found various information online but nothing is working. I'm sure there is information that I am missing or something further I need to do to actually initiate it. The information I have found says to un-comment the various section in the file default-web.xml located in this folder c:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\config for this to be activated globally. Below is a copy and pasted chuck of text that I have un-commented within this file..
Secondly I'm putting my test html pages in the folder C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\docroot using the include syntax that I have found all over the net such as <!--#ECHO var="DATE_LOCAL" --> & others.
I can not get the thing to work. I'm guessing there is more to it. For a start... am I putting my html pages in the correct folder for this to work? And Is there something I need to do to activate the ssi servlet? The only reason I'm putting my test pages in this folder is because the page at http://localhost:8080 says that I can overwrite the index file to replace it. Is this the correct place for this?
Also this class has me thinking... org.apache.catalina.servlets.SsiInvokerServlet Am I suppose to download this separately and put it somewhere? If so where is it? And where do I put it? I am horribly confused and I can not find any further information on this.
If anyone could help me out on this topic I'd really appreciate it. btw, I'm a beginner in this area... I'd really just like to server html pages with ssi features at this point. Nothing more. The server seems to be working.
Thanks,
Tane
