This is one of the first things I checked. The startup.bat refers to catalina.bat which uses JAVA_HOME to set up the initial CLASSPATH. The CLASSPATH refers to the correct tools.jar for either JDK1.3 or 1.4 scenarios.
One thing to add is that when I went reverted to Tomcat under JDK1.3 I decided to keep my application jars as they were ie as built under JDK1.4. Tomcat soon fell over with various low level class-related errors. Afai could see this meant I could not run JDK1.4 classes in a JDK1.3 jvm. Can the opposite be true? Is there an issue with JDK1.4 being unable to run class files which have been built using an older java compiler?
