Looks like your running Tomcat with only a JRE.
A full JDK (J2SE) is required for Tomcat 5.0.

If you've installed one, it's possible that Tomcat is not seeing it but instead running from a JRE on your machine.

How did you install Tomcat?
From the zip file or did you run the Tomcat.exe installer?

How do you start Tomcat; from the batch scripts, as a Windows service, or from the Start menu items?

OK, that means you installed it with the *.exe installer.

The CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables don't matter with this form of installation. Tomcat builds it's own classpath and the pointer to your Java directory is stored in the registry.

It sounds like the installer found a JRE instead of your JDK.
You can chnage this by going to Start -> Programs -> Apache Tomcat -> Configure Tomcat -> Java (tab).
Make sure the "Java Classpath" field includes the path to the tools.jar contained within your JDK.

Example..............
Java Classpath:
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\lib\tools.jar;f:\davison\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar
