    JSP setup problems on XP Pro

    Here's the scene:

    1) XP Pro, with IIS installed and running, as well as complete .NET
    Architect Enterprise development environment
    2) Tomcat server 4.1.27 in the default directory jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
    3) Java NetBeans "cobundle" installed in the default directory
    (j2sdk_nb\j2sdk 1.4.2)
    4) JSP environment variables set (JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME)

    WHen I run Internet Explorer and enter the address http://localhost:8080/ I
    get a user/password dialog that I never saw in my Win 2K/JSP setup. Can
    anyone tell me why this is happening? So far as I know I've properly set
    the required environment variables. I haven't added any new projects, so
    I'm not yet worried about something like having a directory named "web-inf"
    instead of "WEB-INF," and Tomcat and the Java SDK are in their (currently)
    default locations.

    Could this be related to script blocking in Norton AntiVirus, or a similar
    constraint elsewhere? Thanks in advance.

      What port have you got IIS running on? Could it be that IIS is running on
      port 8080?

          Nope- it looks as if the dfault IIS Web site is on port 80. I've found that
          IE and XP want me to enter the default JSP address
          as https://localhost:8080/ but even then, although I no longer get the
          password screen, I get an error page that says the page cannot be found.

          This is making me a bit nuts. I had no idea that it would be so much more
          difficult to set it up under XP Pro than Win2K.

              port 80 is port 8080.

              That's not true. I use Windows XP Pro at home and I did not have any
              problem whatsoever doing Java on it. Just make sure you configure Tomcat
              correctly. Try and change the port for Tomcat to another port number.

                  Henry, I have Tomcat running on XP pro with no problems at all. My guess
                  would still be that the problem lies with running IIS as well. Have you
                  tried turning IIS off & running it then?

                      I found the problem. I made one mistake, and the system just plain didn't
                      like something else. In the jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27\bin\cata lina.bat I had
                      set the JAVA_HOME variable, which is not necessary. I think this was, for
                      me, a holdover from earlier versions of Tomcat, such as 3.2 and 3.3.

                      I hadn't mentioned earlier that no instance of Tomcat actually ran- which
                      was why I couldn't even point to the default Tomcat page at
                      http://localhost:8080/.

                      The last part of the puzzle was the port number. As soon as I changed it to
                      7080 instead of 8080, the default page loaded in a blink of an eye.
                      Changing back to 8080 again brings up the password/login dialog.

                      I'm also running Oracle 9i, which installs JServ (optionally). I was just
                      beginning to suspect something funny due to JServ.

                      Maybe it was IIS after all. I'm not sure if I would have considered the
                      port number so soon. I even have some documentation that recommends
                      changing the default port as a normal course of operation; see
                      http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html for the reference.

                      In any case, I've got things running. Thanks for your help!
