Error starting J2EE server

Question

I have recently installed the J2EE SDK 1.3.1 and J2SE SDK 1.4.1_02. Upon starting the j2ee server (j2ee -verbose), get the following error message.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at com.sun.enterprise.server.J2EEServer.run(J2EEServer.java:175)

I am running Linux 7.2, Apache 1.3.27, Tomcat 4.1.24., and have two (2) NICs.
Any ideas on what might cause this issue?

Answer 1

I believe I got the server working. The system may have had an issue recognizing the environmental variables being set in the .bash_profile and the setconfig.sh.
If anyone could clarify the errors above, I would greatly appreciate the information.
