Java – trying to start a tomcat from eclipse and it failed to find index.jsp

Here's what I ended up doing. I made a backup of my server.xml and web.xml files, along with my apps under the webapps folder, and removed jakarta-tomcat, and then reinstalled it. I restored the server.xml and web.xml file, threw my webapps back in, and started Tomcat up. This time, I got the same error as before, but it pinpointed that a particular servlet under one of my folders had a "bad version number". So I went through my servlet folders and recompiled the classes.

I started Tomcat again, and its running as it used to.

The problem was that a class had been compiled under a different version of the JDK, and it was causing an error.

you can use this code ..


              import java.applet.Applet.*;
              import java.applet.*;
            import java.awt.*;
            public class Demo4 extends Applet
               {
                 public void paint(Graphics g)
              {
                  Font f=new Font("calibri",Font.BOLD,50);
                  g.setFont(f);
                 g.setColor(Color.red);
                g.fillRect(0,0,1400,300);
               g.setColor(Color.yellow);
               g.fillRect(0,300,1400,600);
               g.setColor(Color.green);
               g.drawString("Welcome to the world of applet",100,200);  
               }
              }
                /*<applet code="Demo4.class" WIDTH=20 HEIGHT=20>
              </applet>*/

Here thre is no need to make applet tag direct run this code..u have to foloow these rule to run

for compile- javac Demo4.java for run- appletViewer Demo4.java

you get your ans easily..and don,t forget to include commen lines of applet these are the main lines
