That's extremely odd, and indicates you're probably changing things you shouldn't. Tomcat has always run right out of the box for me, ever since I started playing with early 5.0 releases on Windows, Linux, and proprietary platforms. You will probably find it easier, on a Windows system, to download the .zip version and run Tomcat with the startup.bat script at first. Once you're happy with that, use the service.bat script to create the service, if you need to. Don't change ports, don't put anything in CLASSPATH, don't put the Tomcat bin directory in PATH, do set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK directory, then start Tomcat. Once you've confirmed that's working - including the Tomcat servlet and JSP examples, then add your webapp. Only after you're happy with that result should you consider modifying server.xml settings for a production-like environment. Note that you don't install individual servlets into Tomcat, you install webapps that are comprised of servlets and JSPs. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
