set CLASSPATH=c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.2\lib\common\servlet.jar
When i run startup.bat file it displays a message saying "starting tomcat in new window", but in the new window, i get a display like this:
org.apache.tomcat.core.TomcatException: EmbededTomcat.initContextManager

Answer 1

I only set Java_Home:
@echo off
set JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_01
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal
Thats the only line I added.
You shouldnt need the other stuff, I am using a later version than you though.
If I were you Id ditch your current version and get version 5.5 or whatever the latest stable release is.
