    First make sure tomcat is installed, if not get the addon from: #-Link-Snipped-#

    If required, configure tomcat port number to avoid conflict (should not be required, but better check) -
    Look for the following on tomcat install directory -

    C:\xampp\tomcat\conf\server.xml
<Connector port="9000" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
    Check User Name and Password for Tomcat
    C:\xampp\tomcat\conf\tomcat-users.xml

    <tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="xampp" password="xampp" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>
    Hope this helps.

    Well thanks sir for the reply but the tomcat is already a part of the basic package with this version of xampp. And as per the codes mentioned above , these are as on my machine : 


    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
              connectionTimeout="20000"
              redirectPort="8443" />

    ​
    <tomcat-users>
<!--
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
-->
</tomcat-users>
    Should i change these to the ones mentioned by you? and after I do it, what should i do next to get a jsp page running on my browser window?

    It'd be difficult to respond without knowing what the error is. Are you getting a blank page or some error?

    In case, if someone is still looking into this and facing an issue, I hope these step by step process can be of help -

    1. Download Apache Tomcat addon #-Link-Snipped-#.
    2. Extract tomcat addon in Xampp server root directory
    3. Go to C://xampp/
    4. Stop all services of xampp
    5. Open shell and relocate all services
    6. Enable mod_jk and relocate
    7. Start the services
    8. In Xampp control panel you will see the tomcat service. Activate it.
    9. Click on admin and enter username and password as xampp and xampp
    10. There you go! Open tomcat admin!

    In order to run jsp with XAMPP you need to place your .jsp files in the webapps directory of your tomcat folder within your xampp installation folder.

    {xampp_installation_folder}/tomcat/webapps

    and use the #-Link-Snipped-#
    to run your .jsp file.

    No need to change username and password ..
    1.) Remove comments <!-- and --> from <tomcat-users>
    2.) Start Tomcat
    3.) Copy your page or project to xampp/tomcat/webapps/project-1
    4.) go to browser .. type .. locahost:8080/project-1
