Newbie: Using TomCat

[ptmuldoon]

I just recently starting taking a look at TomCat.

Can someone possibly give a quick intro or point a tutorial as to how to setup/start a new project?

I came across a Card game on SourceForge that I would like to test and try out locally. But I'm unsure how/where to setup a new project? This is on a Window's 2KPro Machine.

The SourceForge project includes primarily all Java files, but nothing with a .jsp extension as well. Should that be correct?

I would suggest going over the documentation at:

http://tomcat.apache.org/

You should be able to find information on the structure of java based web applications and on how to configure tomcat.


Typically after you've downloaded tomcat, you should be able to run it without any extra configuration using the scripts in its bin directory. A web application will usually be deployed as a .war file, if that is what you have, you can just drop the .war file in the webapps directory under tomcat.

Ok, So I've got tomcat installed now, and running on port 8080.

But I'm completely at a loss as to how to install/config this card card from sourceforge.

Would anyone be able to give some basics as to how you would set something like this up? Again, I just want to test/try it out locally, and then maybe get some remote friends to start playing.
