I actually do have the JDK installed, my bad for not stating that clearly... I was just stating the JRE version that would be used by Tomcat, since the JRE of course comes with the JDK, but I wasn't clear... you do raise an intersting point though, I wonder if I have to specify JRE_HOME anyway? I can tell you that when I start Tomcat, it reports the JRE directory as c:\java15, exactly as I expect, so I kind of doubt that's it.
FYI, I am in fact using the directory structure Tomcat had by default, which is CATALINA_HOME/lib, and servlet-api.jar is in there... I just tried creating CATALINA_HOME/common/lib because all the documentation I found online talks about that directory, and while I figured it was just documentation not having been updated for the latest version, I figured it was worth a try. Bottom line: I have it set up as you say, except for the JRE_HOME env var, which I tend to doubt will do it (will try when I get home tonight anyway), but I'm still stuck with the same problem. As another fact mixed in: I tried a simple test: I dropped to a command prompt and just tried to compile a simple filter on its own... it failed because none of the servlet API classes were in the classpath. This is good because it proves I don't have a servlet.jar floating around in the system classpath (I was still hoping the FAQ entry about a stray servlet-api.jar floating around might be right, but that would seem to indicate pretty strongly it isn't).
