Tomcat 4 requires 1.3.1 or later, I believe. Also for JSP pages you will need the sdk not just the rte since it needs tools.jar for the javac compiler to compile the servlets generated by jasper.

Every time I try to start the server, it aborts, leaving 'Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread' in the catalina.out log file. I am beginning to suspect that I have either an incomplete/incorrect installation of Java or that the version that I have is too old. I am running version 1.1.7B-2 of Java (RTE only). One thing that looks odd to me is that the java and javac executables reside in /etc/bin rather than dedicated directory with jar files etc. This same installation package of Tomcat works just fine on my Linux box, running version 1.3.1 of Java. I am using version 4.0.4 of Tomcat.
