Echo Web Framework

Instructions to get the Echo Sample Applications running on your computer.

If you do not have Java 2 and a Servlet 2.2 (or later) container installed:

• Download and install the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition from Sun's Web site: Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition Home Page.
• Download and install Jakarta Tomcat version 4.0.1 (or later) from the Apache Jakarta Project Web site: Jakarta Download Page. This Servlet container is recommended because it is very easy to install.

Once Java 2 and a Servlet 2.2 (or later) container are installed on your computer:

• Download an Echo binary package if you have not previously done so from the download page.
• Extract the compressed Echo binary package.
• Deploy the file "EchoTutorial.war" in the "tutorial" directory to the Servlet container. If Jakarta Tomcat is being used as the Servlet container, simply copy the "EchoTutorial.war" file into Jakarta Tomcat's "webapps" directory to accomplish this step.
• Start the Servlet container or restart it if it is already running.
• In a web browser, open the URI http://localhost:8080/EchoTutorial/helloworld. This URI will only work if your server is running on localhost on port 8080. If it is not, you will need to modify the URI to reflect your server's hostname and/or port number. The above URI should work correctly if a default installation of Jakarta Tomcat was done. If the phrase "Hello, World!" appear in your browser window, the sample applications have been correctly installed.
