While waiting for the download, I unzipped the tomcat I downloaded earlier today, and had the same results, which is what happened with the newly installled version. I un-jarred the bootstrap.jar just to be sure the Naming/jndiPermissions class was in there (it was). If the class is in the jar that is also the current directory, and my setCLASSPATH command ended in a period (all true), then what is going on here? I tried compiling some other java source I had lying around, and had no problem. I feel I understand tomcat installation much better, except that I still can't get it to work. I would start over, except I've done that twice already. I am tempted to just use the old jwsdk, even though it is out of date; I just want this servlet of mine to run. I don't see similar questions to mine on the archives, so others must not be having my frustration.
Any advice?

Everytime you use import at the top of your code the compiler needs to look into the packages/jars listed in classpath to see if they are real and if your program is using them correctly. PATH on the other had really just holds the executable (exe, bat,...) so you don't have to type C:\winnt\cmd.exe you can just type cmd.exe. Windows looks through your PATH for cmd.exe.... better understood? -----Original Message----- From: John Kilbourne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 12:01 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: RE: RE: RE: newbie tomcat 4.0.1installation on NT Yes they are all System environment variables. While I've been unclear on the precise difference between the environment variable PATH and the java classpath (and the command line use of % and ; in setting the classpath), I've been using java for about 8 months without too much trouble. ------------------ Reply Separator -------------------- Originally From: "Brian Adams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: RE: RE: newbie tomcat 4.0.1installation on NT Date: 12/08/2001 11:53pm are these System variables? right click My Computer then properties then the advanced tab then environment variables and in the System one? -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
