Serve static web content by tomcat

The following steps can be used to server static web content by tomcat server, the static web content includes html, image, and js, jsp files.

1. create a subfolder under tomcat's webapps folder, for example, mytestfolder
2. copy html file and js file into the folder, for example, index.html
3. visit localhost:8080/mytestfolder/index.hmtl to visit the html file

In addition, jsp files can also be put in the folder and serve the client request without any servlet configuration change.

Sometimes when debugging tomcat, an error of ""Several ports (8080, 8009) required by Tomcaat v8.0 Server at localhost are already in use", to solve the issue, going to tomcat bin folder and run the below commend to close the running tomcat instance.


bash shutdown.sh
