Can someone help me get TomCat working and...

Question

I downloaded Tomcat, initially so that I could have the servlett packages.
When I try to compile I am still getting the error package.javax.servlet does not exist?
In addition when I try to startup TomCat I get
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\jdk1.3.1_04\bin
The system cannot find the file -Djava.endorsed.dirs=.
Can someone help me get past this please.

Answer 1

When I try to compile I am still getting the error
package.javax.servlet does not exist?Have you included %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet.jar in your classpath? Since servlet class files are not intergrated with the jdk, you must explicitly include them in your classpath to use them.
In addition when I try to startup TomCat I get
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined
correctly
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\jdk1.3.1_04\binTry setting JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_04
Hope that helps.
