This is short guide for installing gnujsp 1.0 on vqserver 1.9.17. The vqserver 1.9.17 package contains a description of how to install gnujsp 0.9 which is mostly correct so take that as an additional help. You need: - vqserver 1.9.17 or above (didn't tried older versions) - jar-File for gnujsp 1.0 (o.k. since you read this you most probably have it already) I only use vqserver for testing gnujsp, so please check the documentation for security, etc. vqserver is installed in /home/heyl/work/vqserver-1.9.17 1. I needed to put vqserver on another port so I changed "vq/server/cfg/server.cfg": Port 8030 2. To run vqserver I used (this is for Unix, sh-Shell) CLASSPATH=/home/heyl/work/vqserver-1.9.17/classes/classes.zip:${CLASSPATH} export CLASSPATH Using the gui was very unstable on Linux: java vq.server.console Better using the console frontend: java vq.server.console -nogui -console If you plan to execute the testsuite you may need to say: java -mx100000000 vq.server.console -nogui -console 3. Now lets take a look at the vqserver gnujsp howto and follow it's commands (I list them here, too.) http://127.0.0.1:8030/vq/server/docs/howto/gnujsp.html mkdir jsp mkdir jsp/repository mkdir jsp/lib cp .../gnujsp10cvs.jar jsp/lib cp -apr .../testsuite jsp 4. Access the Adminserver and do the configuration: http://127.0.0.1:9090/ User: admin Password: admin (You should change that for serious use :-) Enter: Main Web Server/Aliases Add a "New alias": alias java/jsp Real name: jsp/lib/gnujsp10cvs.jar/org.gjt.jsp.JspServlet Action: Run Java servlet Press "OK" 2 times. Click on Icon for properties and set: (see README or INSTALL.apache for explanation and additional parameters) scratchdir: /var/local/apache/jsp-vq compiler: builtin-javac -g -classpath %classpath%:%scratchdir%:/usr/local/gnujsp-1.0cvs/lib/gnujsp10cvs.jar:/home/heyl/test/java/jdbcbeans -d %scratchdir% -deprecation %source% debug: true pagebase: /home/heyl/work/vqserver-1.9.17 New alias: Alias: /testsuite/ Real name: jsp/testsuite/ Action: Serve file Read access: anyone Control center: File Types New File Type File extension: jsp Filter: /servlet/jsp Test: http://127.0.0.1:8030/testsuite/java1.jsp And don't forget to save your setting: Control center: Others/Save Settings! Have fun and tell us about bugs on gnujsp@gjt.org. Carsten Heyl
