Folks: Digging thru numerous archives I discovered that Starting Tomcat if you get an error that states error with java.endorsed.dirs
Uninstall the SDK and the JRE Reinstall the JRE SDK (donot install JRE..this option doesnt work) set JAVA_HOME=BaseDirectoryWhereJREandSDKIsInstalled ALSO Windows CLASSPATH is limited to 256 characters so you may want to break up your jars this way SET SERVLET_PATH=AllOfTheServletJarsAreSpecifiedHere Then later to save some space SET CLASSPATH=%SERVLET_PATH%;%AXISCLASSPATH%;tools.jar... then Tomcat will start Thought I would share.. -Martin =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
