Try being a bit more exact in your questions.

Open a webbrowser and go to Google and start searching for servlet engines.

The easiest one to install and use is probably the Resin engine. A free alternative would be TomCat, but it's not quite up to the same standard as Resin.

I'm assuming that you are running a linux server with cpanel :)
Redhat 6.2 or 7.1 (this is the Java Servlet Plugin for CPanel)

First Log into Root via SSH

check your bash:
It should be something like
(root@yourservername)

then enter

wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/jsp-install-3.x.tar.gz

You will see some percentange and bytes transfer stuff... Wait a minute (depending on your server connection) and when it reached 100% enter:

tar xfzv jsp-install-3.x.tar.gz jsp-install

After its done then enter:

cd jsp-install

and then enter

.install

and you will see a bunch of activity on the screen.... Don't close your SSH just wait till its done.... After everything is complete, log on the ROOT Web Host Manager and you can add Servlets to individual domains. Please note that this is a high cpu resource hog (you can only have about 100 servlets).

I hope this help :)

I want to say thanks synergy for your help.You are correct I am running a linux server with cpanel Redhat 6.2 or 7.1 (this is the Java Servlet Plugin for CPanel)

But I want to know one more thing will I need any path setting for running the java servelet for different domain.

your jdk should be installed and should be in classpath,
In all probability you would also want to put mysql jdbc drivers, javamail and java activation framework too for basic java servlet hosting support,

These will also needed to be added to classpath . I am not sure if your jsp installation of cpanel would include thise, Most likely you would have to seperately install those,

Secondly the installation would mostly be tomcat standalone installation,

You would have to edit your file server.xml for supporting the same on individual virtualhosts.

I may not be correct, bcos i have never used cpanel based machine,

Hope this helps

Installation of Tomcat:
1-
Download JDK(SDK) For Linux from the site http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download.html
2-tar -xzvf jdk-1_2_2_012-linux-i386\[1\].tar.gz
3-Most Important thing is to set the JAVA_HOME env variable, Set it by the command
export JAVA_HOME=/home/munir/jdk/jdk1.2.2


Now second thing is to install Tomcat:
1-First download it from the site
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.4/bin/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4.tar.gz
2-tar -xzvf jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4.tar.gz
3-cd jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4
4-cd bin
5-./startup.sh
Test:
http://localhost:8080
If Tomcat default page with logo is there then its up, You may enjoy.

Instead of Tomcat I prefer ApacheJServ (mod_jserv) from http://java.apache.org

LOL -
Your recommending one, that itself recommends Tomcat on thier site :laugh:

A word of advice:

Check out jpackage.org and save yourself hours of grief.

e.g. download and install the JBoss package (with either Jetty or Tomcat). It will prompt you for all the other packages you need.

Once you have installed them all, it will have set up /etc/rc.d/init.d scripts for you. Put the logs in the 'proper' /var/log location. etc.
