I've been using tomcat for a long time, and so far, i've always been using tomcat on a computer with a JDK installed. Now, i have to deploy a web application using tomcat 6.0 on a virtual machine , on which there's no JDK installed, but only a JRE 1.5. I've tried to put the JAVA_HOME on the JRE, but it doesn't work, I keep getting the same message :
C:\Documents and Settings\E0021235\Desktop\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin>startup.bat The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly This environment variable is needed to run this program NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE I've checked on Apache site, and it's clearly stated that Tomcat 6.0 requires a JRE > 1.5 I don't understand. Thanks for your help
