Not able to go pass step 5 of Creating a Simple Web App Using MySQL tutorial

[Jack Bush]

Hi All,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I am not able to generate index.jsp from step 5 of tutorial Creating a Simple Web Application Using a MySQL Database from http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/mysql-webapp.html. There were no differences of the outcome using either Java EE 5 or 6. The index.xhtml file was generated instead.

I am running Netbeans 7.1.1 with bundled Glassfish 3.1.2 on Windows XP platform.

Please let me know whether there is a step that I have missed, or not covered due to version differences.

Thanks,

Jack

I just ran the web project wizard and the first thing it created was a jsp file.

Couple, "is it plugged in" questions:
1) Did you create the project from the java web category, selecting web project?
2) If so, did you select a framework like java server faces? If so, that would be your problem. And I'm guessing that it is, because the web project without any added frameworks will generate the jsp file you are looking for. JSF and JSF based frameworks like prime faces and rich faces, etc. use xhtml files rather than jsp files.

You're only on step five and it doesn't look that complicated. Delete the project and create a new one, but make sure you don't select any frameworks like jsf or rich faces. If you're trying to learn the jsp stage right now, you likely aren't ready for those frameworks quite yet. JSF would be the next step.
