Well, i am back at it this morning. As far as I can tell, the jdk from sun is for developers, the javasoft jre is a public runtime engine. I removed references to the javasoft one from the path to ensure that the only one that Tomcat saw was the JDK environment. A lot of the messages that I received said the Windows NT-Windows 2000(NTFS) version would run on windows 98, go ahead and download, etc. I downloaded the exe from Sun for JDK 1.4, and it will not even open, it just yields a page fault. But I was just reading the faq pages for the 1.3.1 release, and it said that it will run on win 98 with tweeking in the batch file, as one of the guys that replied to me suggested.
Are we SURE that JDK1.4 is windows 98 compatable???? I am dumping it and downloading the JDK1.3.1. Wish me luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:51 AM Subject: RE: Tomcat 3 will not load on Windows 98 > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: Tomcat 3 will not load on Windows 98 > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Caldarale, Charles R > > > > You don't want to download the Sun J2EE package - Tomcat > > supplies its own, and having both on your system at the > > same time can lead to some "interesting" events. > > > > Is this bad planning, or something a user should know about > > and work round? J2EE does get other uses. > > As far as I can tell (Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere), all the J2EE players provide their own copy of the necessary pieces of the J2EE jar from Sun, along with their implementations of the interfaces and abstract classes, plus their own extensions. Due to the complexity of J2EE class loading, having the Sun (or any other) J2EE jar in the classpath results in mixed resolutions - some classes come from the desired location, others from the wrong (possibly incompatible) one. Leads to much head-scratching. > > Chuck > > > THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
