Unable to run jsp on tomcat server in fedora

[hims4u]

respected mods

i am facing a very strange problem when i am trying to run any jsp code on tomcat server in fedora 13.

i have installed tomcat6 by command as

#yum install tomcat6

after that when i give the address as http://127.0.0.1:8080/aa1.jsp

(aa1.jsp being the name of my jsp code) i get an output as follows:-

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

where you placed your aa1.jsp...

it should be under webapps\ROOT folder in Tomcat home directory..
