NetBeans 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5.16 ... Please Help

[Vijaya]

Hi,
 
I downloaded NetBeans 5,0 and tomcat 5.5.16. I want to connect to a
remote SQL Server. I am using jtds. I am not successful in using both
NB50 and Tomcat 5.5.16 together. NB5.0 comes with bundled tomcat 5.5.9
and if I use this, I get a '404 error' while accessing the remote
sql*server.
 
Can someone help me on this? Is there a problem with NetBeans 5.0? 
 
Is there any other IDE can I use?
 
Lastly, is there a tomcat user group in Bangalore, India?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
