Servlet.jar is from an older version of the J2SDKEE. As a newbie, you really
should stick to the latest and greatest as Christopher K. St. John will
probably tell you when he sees ur postings. ;-)
Installing J2EE for Dummies.
1) Uninstall everything from java :)
2) Download the J2SDK (now at version 1.4)
3) Download the J2SDKEE (now at version 1.3.1_02)
4) Run the J2SDK install
5) Edit ur path environment variable to include the bin directory of
that install. Make sure that u use full path names.
ie. C:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin (for help on updating ur path)
6) Run the J2SDKEE install
7) Do the outline below (from java.sun.com with comments by me)
Before running the J2EE SDK, you must set these environment variables:
* J2EE_HOME - the directory where you installed this release.
* This is something like C:\j2sdkee1.3 (depends on the versus). It
will be the path up to the folder right above the bin for J2EE install
* JAVA_HOME - the directory where the Java 2 SDK Standard Edition is
installed.
* This is something like C:\jdk1.3.1_01 (depends on the versus). It
will be the path up to the folder right above the bin for J2SDK install
* PATH - include the bin directory beneath the directory where you've
installed this release
* This is something like C:\j2sdkee1.3\bin (depends on the versus). It
will be the path up to the bin folder for J2EE install
8) Edit ur classpath to include C:\j2sdkee1.3\lib\j2ee.jar (depends on
the versus)
Appendix: Tomcat for dummies
9) Download the version of tomcat that u want.
10) Unzip it into whereever. (note that if ur planning to intergrate it
through IIS, u should not have any spaces in ur paths)
I usually unzip my into a directory called Tomcat under C:\
11) Set an environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the path of the
directory into which you have installed Tomcat 4.0
in my case C:\Tomcat (note that Catalina is for Tomcat 4.x and above
Now you should be ready to run.
BTW, if you really want to get off on the right foot, you really should
check out the posts of the veterans of this list like Christopher, Nic
Ferrier, Milt Epstein or Mark Galbreath (and alot of others who I hate to
leave out but must cut this short :-)
