I want to install Tomcat for learning servlets and jsp. I just went thru jakarta.apache.org. What should I do--Should I just "install and run the Tomcat 4.0 Servlet/JSP Container" or
"Build from Source the Tomcat 4.0 Servlet/JSP Container".
I could not understand the difference between the two. Could anybody explain to me.
Thanks.

Do u have the jsdk2.0 or later installed.. first u have to install it and then write down the classpath in autoexec.bat file..
set classpath = %CLASSPATH%;c:\JSDK2.0\lib\jsdk.jar;
assuming that it's installed in c:\
Hope it will work..

Obviously if you want to learn Servlets & JSP you just install and run the Tomcat 4.0 Servlet/JSP Container. Thats all! Just download the binaries. Set the classpath etc. and get going ! Happy learning !

Hi Raghav,
i've downloaded Jakarta Tomcat 4.0 and it's in c:\Program files\Jakarta Tomcat4.0.. my classpath is as follows..
set classpath = c:\JSDK2.0\lib;
set classpath = %CLASSPATH%;c:\JSDK2.0\lib\jsdk.jar;
set path = c:\jdk1.2.1\bin;c:\jdk1.2.1\lib;
set JAVA_HOME = c:\jdk1.2.1\bin;c:\jdk1.2.1\bin\java.exe;
set TOMCAT_HOME = c:\Program Files\Jakarta Tomcat 4.0;
But the thing is whenever i click on startup.bat, an error comes like..
cannot find the file 'c:\jdk1.2.1\bin;c:\jdk1.2.1\bin\java.exe;bin\java'(or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available..
So how can i make my Tomcat Running.. pls help..

Pranit,
To keep things simple, put ur tomcat installation in c:\ directly (for eg:- c:\Tomcat4) instead of c:\Program files...

Set paths as follows:
set path=%path%;c:\jdk1.2.1\bin
set classpath=%classpath%;c:\jdk1.2.1\lib
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.1
set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\Tomcat4
Now try running startup.bat. Hope this helps.

set the path like " set java_home = c:\jdk1.3.0_02
c:\jakarta-tomcat4.0\bin\starup" that's all it will work try with this
