Hi all!

Trying to get Tomcat going with my app-under-development. Problem is that Tomcat refuses to start if I'm using the 'Configure Tomcat' dialog (i.e. Start->Programs->Apache Tomcat 5.5->Configure Tomcat). No message, it just silently fails. Logs are not touched at all.

Crazy thing here is that if I start Tomcat from the Windows services dialog (Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->Apache Tomcat) it starts all right. Moreover, my app needs additions to the classpath and a flag to the JVM, and I add and apply these in the 'Configure Tomcat' dialog. Even though I start Tomcat from the Windows services dialog (which doesn't allow for tampering with classpath and JVM arguments), my app works correctly. And I'm completely sure it would NOT work at all without my classpath and JVM settings.

Have experienced this using Windows XP Prof with Tomcat 5.5 and Windows 2000 with Tomcat 5.0.

Anyone have an idea of what this is all about?
