HOWTO run JSP page in hosted mode

[georgopoul...@gmail.com]

Hi,

to run JSP pages in GWT hosted mode you have to:

1. edit ./tomcat/conf/web.xml and add

<mime-mapping>
<extension>jsp</extension>
<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

2. rename your *.html host page to *.jsp (e.g.rename EntryPoint.html
to EntryPoint.jsp)

3. setup your module file (e.g. MyApp.gwt.xml) - add a service for
your *.jsp host page

<module>
<servlet path='/EntryPoint.jsp'
class='org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet' />
</module>

4. edit the *-shell script and add the jasper jars and also change the
EntryPoint.html to EntryPoint.jsp
---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
APPDIR=`dirname $0`;

GWT_HOME="/path to/gwt-linux-1.4.60"

CLASSPATH="$GWT_HOME/gwt-user.jar:$GWT_HOME/gwt-dev-linux.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/jasper-compiler.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/jasper-runtime.jar"

java -cp "$APPDIR/src:$APPDIR/bin:$CLASSPATH"
com.google.gwt.dev.GWTShell -out "$APPDIR/www" "$@" ModuleName.MyApp/
EntryPoint.jsp;
---------------------------------

enjoy!
