Dear all,
Hi!
I am a beginner. I have installed Tomcat v5.0.25 and I tried writing a hello world JSP program using notepad.
I stored my program as hello.jsp and put it in the webapps directory. I got the WEB/INF folder there with web.xml inside.


This is my jsp file -(so simple)

<HTML>
<TITLE>The JSP Test Page</TITLE>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
HelloWorld!!!
<%
out.println("-- so says the test program.");
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I can load the page but I cannot see the words displayed using the script
ie.
I can see "Hello world!!!"
but not

"-- so says the test program."

Can anyone please suggest me what I missed?

Many Thanks!
Pancy

Try to change
Code: 
out.println("-- so says the test program.");
into
Code: 
[b]O[/b]ut.println("-- so says the test program.");

13sio's suggestion will not work - it will just result in a compiler error.

It sounds like you have an earlier version cached, either in your browser, or by tomcat in the /work directory.

Change "Hello World" to "Hello world 2" to test this, and then come back to us with the results ...

Either :

1) Your browser cached the result of your jsp page. (Delete cached files).
2) Tomcat would not reload the new source - if in doubt destroy the relevant directory in TOMCAT_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost
