OK. You may have reinstalled Java already, but there is another way to do
this.
You can use the "8.3" file name for C:\Program Files. Windows always creates
this for every directory and file that doesn't fall into the pattern. This
works on XP and Server 2003. I assume it will work on any Windows version
that allows you to create objects not following the pattern.
Steps:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Navigate to the root directory of your C: drive.
3. Type "dir /X" (without the quotes, of course) at the prompt.
4. Look for the "Program Files" directory.
5. Use 8.3 pattern in batch file ("PROGRA~1" in the example below) (Will I
ever stop saying "without quotes?")
C:\>dir /X
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 1C5C-25CF
Directory of C:\

07/08/2008 04:19 PM <DIR> PROGRA~1 Program Files
Although it's not necessary to change it, "jdk1.6.0_07" doesn't fit the
pattern either. Windows should create an "8.3" name like "JDK16~1.0_0"
(There, I didn't say it. ;) ).

:confused::confused::confused:
I commented out the @echo off line of catalina.bat and server started with no
problems.
Then I removed comments, and it still worked...
I don't get it.....
But anyway, the server is chugging happily..
