I have this same problem... No resolution yet. It began as soon as I upgraded to jdk1.4.0. Running winxppro. Not positive of the tomcat version (4.0.4?). Here's the error: I'll post the answer if I figure it out. ken.
Bootstrap: Class loader creation threw exception java.util.zip.ZipException: Access is denied at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:112) at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:117) at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:82) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory.validateJarFile(ClassL oaderFactory.java:319) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory.createClassLoader(Clas sLoaderFactory.java:242)

ok, figured it out. I'd created a directory called 'old tools.jar' in which I placed, you guessed it, the old tools.jar file. so tomcat's bootstrapper was trying to extract the contents of the ".jar" file and since it happened to have a space and be a directory (not sure which is the actual culprit), I think that's what it blew up on. doh!
