eclipse with tomcat5.5

[oll3i]

is there any way i could run jsp files from eclipse
i have tomcat added in eclipse but when i try to run a jsp file on a server it says the server failed to start
i dont want to copy the files everytime i modify them into webapps folder
and when i copied the folder (in which i have all the files) it cannot compile the classes
Thank You

Have you tried using the built in HTTP/J2EE Preview web server instead, there is information listed I hear, in tomcat's docs, please have a look there... Let us know if that works but do try firing your jsps using the built in software:-)

Also, I would by now go with Tomcat 6, if you know what I mean...

In a bit!

I would definitely suggest you to use WTP.
A new J2EE perspective is added which can help you to
1. Configure/Add Application or Web Servers
2. Create JSP/Servlet projects and deploy them from within eclipse.

You can even run the server in debug mode and debug the JSP.

Also if you intend to edit JSP's using some kind of Visual editor, do consider
JBoss Tools Plugins.
