Setup J2EE SDK 1.4.01 & Tomcat 5.5.7 environmental variables in Win XP

[croucherj3]

Hi,
I need help getting Tomcat running. I have searched Sun's Java forums and Google, but cannot find an anwser. I also tried the Tomcat and J2EE documentation but was still unable to resolve this.

I have a fresh install of Win XP SP2. Using the default setups, I have just installed:
-j2eesdk-1_4_01_2005Q1-windows.exe (All-In-One Bundle from

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download.html#sdk

)
-jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7.exe (Binary from

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.cgi

)

Everything I have read says to set the environmental variables to something like this:
JAVA_HOME: C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\
PATH:C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\bin;

But here lies the problem:
I do not have a directory called C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01. I have:
- C:\Sun\AppServer
- C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5

What I need help with is setting the following variables:
- J2EE_HOME
- JAVA_HOME
- CLASSPATH
- Path

Any help you can provide is sincerly appreciated.

Have you installed the J2SE SDK (tomcat 5.5 should be run with Java 5/1.5)? You need the plain version of java to run tomcat ... (if you are not sure, type in "java -version" on the command line)

I went through this nightmare before. It turned out that j2ee is an extension to j2se. You will need to install j2se before you will be able to use Tomcat.
You do not need to un-install or delete j2ee. j2ee and j2se complement each other.
Good luck.

Hope that helps.
