Testing Tomcat

To test the server—assuming you’re running Tomcat on the same machine as the browser and that you’re using the default port for Tomcat (8080)—open a browser and enter the following URL in the Location/Address field:

http://localhost:8080/

The Tomcat main page is shown in the browser (see Figure 4.2), and you can now run all servlet and JSP examples bundled with Tomcat to make sure everything works.

When you’re done testing Tomcat, stop the server like this:

C:\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat\bin>shutdown

You should always stop the server this way, as opposed to killing the Command Prompt window the server is running in. Otherwise, the applications don’t get a chance to close down gracefully, and when you start to connect external resources, like a database, various problems may occur.
