I DON'T UNDERSTAND

[Ken Tab]

hello, I just installed tomcat 4.03 and I can't seem to view any jsp pages, specifically Hello.jsp . Here is the class path I defined in setclasspath.bat :
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\devel;C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\common\lib\servlet.jar
Below is the exception I keep getting, any suggestions?

You should remove the classpath entry from 'setclasspath.bat' and put these in you global classpath. The classpath should only look like this 'set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar' in setclasspath.bat. Remembet to add JAVA_HOME to your global envionment too. Tomcat will then find what it need by it self...
To run JSP pages you need to have at least tools.jar from the JDK package.
