The default servlet for Tomcat is declared in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servle...
Therefore, static content is rendered by the default configuration unless you override it with your own definitions.
If you want to allow directory listing, just change the listing parameter to true :
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</para...
Change the welcome-file-list to display a default page in lieu of a directory listing:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>home.xhtml</...
Welcome pages are defined at the Web application level.

Configure Tomcat HTTP connector with appropriate proxyName and proxyPort : <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"... Note: context path must be the same for httpd and Tomcat. B.

The insertAttribute tag allows you to have a body as well as specify a default value, but both values are scriptless , i.e., scriptlet is not allowed in body:
<tiles:insertAttribute name="javascript">

And, <put-attribute> in tiles definition does not replace the body of <tiles:insertAttribute> , it appends to the body!

When you insert an attribute in JSP:
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles...
you must define the attribute in tiles definitions:
<definition name="/home" template="/WEB-INF/templa...
Otherwise you'll get runtime exception.
The ignore attribute, which defaults to false , will suppress the runtime exception when the attribute is not defined in tiles definition:
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles...

This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.
Directory layout:
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/...
pom.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project...
WEB-INF/web.xml :

Build with:

The resulting webapp is target/springmvc.war .

This is a simple JSP custom tags library with tag body. Just like the JSF counterpart , it splits a string and repeats the body for each word, i.e., with this markup:

output:
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello Tigger!</p>

Tomcat allows you to create multiple server instances for the same installation. The installation directory is identified as CATALINA_HOME , the instance directory is identified as CATALINA_BASE .

mkdir -p /home/nogeek/tomcat/{bin,conf,logs,temp,w... Copy web.xml from the installation directory: cp $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml /home/nogeek/tomcat...

You can add custom implicit variables to JSF pages by using a custom EL resolver, in two simple steps: Write an ELResolver class to resolve the variable Add the ELResolver to faces-config.xml Starting from the Maven Hello World example: Add faces API and EL dependencies to pom.xml :
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>o... Add a simple greeter class ( src/main/java/com/example/Greeter.java ): package com.example; public class Greeter {... Add our custom EL resolver ( src/main/java/com/example/ELResolver.java ): package com.example; import java.util.Itera... Add the custom EL resolver to src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-c... Build JAR with mvn package Drop the JAR into WEB-INF/lib of a webapp and test the new EL with: <h:outputText value="#{Greeter.sayHi('Mike')}"/> Fixed: the setValue method used to throw an exception, which is wrong. @Override public void setValue(ELContext ctx, O......
