the batch file _is_ the executable.
you could also try:
<exec
executable="C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_01\bin\java.exe"
os="Windows NT, Windows 2000">
<arg value="-jar"/>
<arg value="-Duser.dir=C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0"/>
<arg value="C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\bin\bootstrap.jar"/>
<arg value="start"/>
</exec>
