Well, that's odd....
I followed your advice, BAO RuiXian. I created a dirctory called test
and deployed it, with successful results as noted in previous e-mail.
Since it did deploy successfully, I wondered what would happen if I
copied the contents of the EBook directory---all of it, including html,
jps, servlets, and xml files---into the test directory and ran the EBook
app from there.
And it worked. Everything, including the jsp file that triggered my
initial question to the forum. The EBook app works find from the test
directory, as the test webapp. Then I went a step further and
configured Apache to recognize the test app. And it worked, too.
So, my EBook app works whether called directly from Tomcat or from
Tomcat via Apache, if deployed in the test directory, but not in the
EBook directory, even though the context in server.xml is identical in
every respect except directory name.
I don't get it.
Now I need to get it to work under the name EBook, not test. This is
really strange.
