What's the procedure for activating Tomcat for my account?

I. TOMCAT ACTIVATION:

Tomcat is available for use with our Pro Unix and eCommerce Unix shared hosting plans. Here is how you can activate the Tomcat server for your account using the Control Panel:

1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
4. Now, select the hosted domain name that you’d like to manage.
5. Click the Tomcat Activation icon.
6. Click the Install button.

II. JSP FILES

You can put your JSP files anywhere within your /html directory. Once your Tomcat support is activated, a directory named WEB-INF will be automatically created in your main /html directory. Your web.xml file and the classes and lib directories reside in the WEB-INF directory. You will also see a file snoop.jsp in your /html directory, which you can use for testing purposes.

Example: If you have a JSP file named “snoop.jsp” inside your /html directory, you have to use the following URL to access it: http://yourdomainname.com/snoop.jsp

III. SERVLETS:

All Servlets should be uploaded in the /html/WEB-INF/classes directory. Any unpacked custom classes and resources should be uploaded in the /html/WEB-INF/classes directory, while classes and resources packed in Jar files should be uploaded to /html/WEB-INF/lib. In order to be able to use any newly uploaded Servlets or custom class libraries, the Tomcat has to be restarted. The Tomcat service is restarted automatically on a regular basis - Monday to Friday at 9:30AM PST. You do not need to create any class paths, those will be updated at the next Tomcat restart.

Example: If you have a Servlet named “TestServlet”, and its files reside in the /html/WEB-INF/classes directory, you have to use the following URL to access it: http://yourdomainname.com/servlet/TestServlet

If you’d like to use Servlet Mapping, you have to modify your web.xml file located in the /html/WEB-INF directory.

Example of web.xml content: If you have a Servlet named “myServlet” and you want to map it to “ss”, you can use the following web.xml code:

<web-app>

<servlet>

<servlet-name>Snoopy</servlet-name> <!--This can be any name. It is used as definition only -->

<servlet-class>myServlet</servlet-class> <!--This is the real name of your Servlet, i.e. myServlet.class -->

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>Snoopy</servlet-name> <!--This has to be same as the name used for definition -->

<url-pattern>/servlet/ss</url-pattern> <!--How to access it: http://domain.com/servlet/ss-->

</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>
