To just summarize Charles' excellent response...
1.) upgrade to JDK 1.3. There are good versions for both Windows and Linux
nowadays.
2.) At this point using the production release of Tomcat (3.1) is probably the
safest and easiest thing to do. I have personally used jBoss extensively with
Tomcat 3.1 with no difficulties.
3.) jBoss is distributed with individual jar files that comprise the j2ee
specification. For this reason, having j2ee.jar (which is one big jar file with
all of the classes comprising the j2ee spec) in your classpath can result in
class definitions conflicting with those that jBoss relies on. So, you should
eliminate it from your classpath prior to running jBoss.
4.) As Charles says, just adding a directory to the classpath does not mean
that all of the jar files get added to the classpath. You have to add each one
explicitly. Using the run.bat script should set the classpath correctly and
that is what you should use. If there are certain situations in which it
doesn't work I'd be interested in hearing about it.
