Tomcat-5.0.0

[herkulis nugent]

I tried to install Tomcat-5.0.0 on Window XP. Under c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.0\bin, first I clicked on setclasspath.bat, things went OK. But after I clicked on startup.bat, I got the following error message
"Windows cannot find '-Djava.endorsed.dirs=' Make sure you type the name correctly ..."
I use j2sdk1.4.1_01 and set
JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01
Please help!

Hi.
What you need to do is start setclasspath.bat and startup.bat from the same command-line. The reason for this is that the settings that the setclasspath script does "dies" when that script finishes.
make a .bat-file on your own, something like this:
startmytomcat.bat:

setclasspath.bat
startup.bat

hope this helps.

P.S. haven't tested, but it should work.

Hi Peter,
I realized that I made a mistake by having a semicolon after j2sdk1.4.1_01 in my JAVA_HOME. I only found this out by running the batch files from command line like you suggested. I could now point the browser to http://localhost:8080/ and it showed the Jakarta Project homepage as it was supposed to. However, when I tried the HelloWorld program, I got error message 'exception: java.util.MissingResourceException: Cant find bundle for base name LocalStrings ...'
What am I missing?
I tried the steps mentioned in http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html to no prevail. Please help

And why isn't this in Apache/Tomcat?
