Hi: I am attempting to post the tomcat installation and application instructions. Pl. feel free to fill-in or correct. The foll. instructions apply for jdk1.2.2 in the C:\ dir. - Download tomcat from this site. - Unzip into a directory (if you use the default, it will be unzipped into C:\jakarta-tomcat - Add the foll. line to your autoexec.bat file: SET JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.2.2 SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\ SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\jakarta-tomcat\bin SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar (re-start your machine, if needed). If eveything went well, you can start start the tomcat server by typing startup in a dos prompt. Starting it by double-clicking should also work, but I don't prefer it. If the server has started, you can checkout the examples at the foll. URI: http://localhost:8080/ You can find JSP and servlet examples here. To develop your own appli. please go through the instructions at the foll. URI (whether the server is running or not) file:/C:/jakarta-tomcat/doc/appdev/index.html This URI explains in detail how you can develop your own appli.s using tomcat and its ant build tool. Hope this helps. Regds. - satya

My thanks to madhav, without his message, i would still be in the dark. His method works for Windows 98 after I made one minor change:
original SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\ changed to SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\jakarta-tomcat Also note jdk1.2.2 is actually the name of folder conatining jdk1.*\bin, in my case, it is jdk1.2. Another thing you have to do is change the memory allocation for MS-DOS: open up a fresh DOS window, click and hold the MS-DOS icon on the upper-left corner of the DOS window, you'll see a drop-down list,select properties, click on the "memory" tab, then change "auto" to 3072. After all these, restart your computer, open a MS-DOS window, change to the directory where you installed tomcat, in this case, C:\jakarta-tomcat at the prompt type: bin\startup Hopefully, you are all set. Xinbo the following is copied from madhav's message ----------------------------------------------------- The foll. instructions apply for jdk1.2.2 in the C:\ dir. - Download tomcat from this site. - Unzip into a directory (if you use the default, it will be unzipped into C:\jakarta-tomcat - Add the foll. line to your autoexec.bat file: SET JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.2.2 SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\ SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\jakarta-tomcat\bin SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar (re-start your machine, if needed).

Man...setting up Tomcat under NT sure seems a heck of a lot easier than Tomcat under Unix...which I've been losing massive amounts of sleep over for two months now. Especially with integrating the new mod_jk (Tomcat 3.2) into Apache and getting mod_rewrite to work so that session tracking works w/ disabled cookies. I finally got it working earlier this week, but it certainly was NOT intuitive...at least to this non-Java programmer
Hi guys, I seem many tomcat people have replied in this topic. I have another problem of configuring IIS for tomcat. Please take the labour to visit my topic placed in this forum only. Subject is : Tomcat with IIS thanx nitin

Hi Nitin: I visited your forum and asked a link for IIS, but I never got any responses, I wanted to take a shot at it but not sure where to find it. The only link in your thread is the one explaining the Tomcat and IIS installations details. Hope you get my point. Regds. - satya

xinbo: I agree to what you said. I recently upgraded my tomcat to 3.2 and was surprised abt the TOMCAT_HOME settings. Well, there should be something new with every release, you see. Thxs for the update. Regds. - satya

"Diskmuncher", The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp . We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please choose a new name which meets the requirements. Thanks.
