ServerException deploying bookstore servlet example

Question

I am trying to run the examples in the tutorial addendum (1.4 beta). I am using JSDK 1.4.1 and J2EE 1.4 on Windows XP.
I have run ant build and ant package-bookstore in the bookstore directory.
I then ran ant build in the bookstore1 directory and ran ant package. Everything built successfully. Then I started the J2EE server by typing j2ee at the command prompt and ran ant deploy. I got the following output:
C:\j2sdkee1.4\doc\tutorial\examples\web\bookstore1>j2ee
Redirecting application output to C:\j2sdkee1.4\logs\launcher.server.log
C:\j2sdkee1.4\doc\tutorial\examples\web\bookstore1>ant deploy
Buildfile: build.xml
set-deploytool:

I'd really appreciate any help on this...
Thanks,
