You have to add it if you want it to be there. Go back to your installation instructions for the JDK, it should explain everything you need to set up. Until you've got the JDK properly installed, Tomcat doesn't have a chance of working right. Are you able to compile and run 'HelloWorld' from the command line? To answer your question, (assuming you're on Windows,) it will be something like... U:\>echo %JAVA_HOME% c:\j2sdk1.5.0 You can set it from the command line as well, just: U:\>set JAVA_HOME=c:\whereever\the\jdk\lives That will go away when you close the command window. You could probably also set it in the batch file that starts Tomcat, but other things that use Java will be looking for JAVA_HOME, might as well set it once and forget it. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
