Hi Sangeetha,

Plz ensure ur JAVA_HOME is set properly.Say u've installed JDK1.4 on D drive.Then JAVA_HOME must be set to D:/JDK1.4 as an environment variable.(JAVA_HOME=D:/JDK1.4).U dont bother abt the rest of the errors once u set this they'll get cleared automatically.

Regards,
Priya.

CATALINA_HOME should also be defined as environment variable.
(For example CATALINA_HOME=E:\Tomcat 5.0)

Priya.
