title: Running JSP files with tomcat 7
body: <p>Hi I just installed Apache Tomcat 7 and got the server running OK. When I entered localhost:8089 (8089 being the port I assigned to Tomcat 7) the apache website popped up and I   got to run some jsp examples and they opened correctly.</p>
  
  <p>However now I wish to create a jsp file myself (I am trying tutorials for the very first time) and when I open them, only the source code I written is showing in the browser.</p>
  
  <p>The example I am trying is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;body&gt;
  Hello World. &lt;%= new java.util.Date() %&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and all I'm seeing in Chrome is :  <code>"Hello World. &lt;%= new java.util.Date() %&gt;"</code></p>
  
  <p>I am saving this file in this path: </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\host-manager\WEB-INF\jsp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In WEB-INF there is an index.html file ready.</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong? Where am I supposed to save my file? 
  I tried watching tutorials on youtube but most of them were in arabic and I couldn't understand a thing!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
