I'm having the following problem only on Windows 2000 with Sun's JDK 1.4.
It
works with Windows NT 4.0 and Sun's JDK 1.3.1.
My JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables are properly set.
While running Tomcat 4 as a service on Windows 2000 I get the following
error
when accessing any JSP page that isn't already compiled:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main
I believe sun.tools.javac.Main is called while the JSP page is compiled, and
is
containted in C:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar.
For testing, delete all the files and folders in the "Apache Tomcat
4.0\work"
directory to force a recompile of the JSP pages.
When I run Tomcat 4 from the command line with startup.bat it tells me that
C:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar is included in the CLASSPATH and JSP pages compile
and
work as expected. If I start Tomcat 4 as a service it doesn't seem to be
using
the same CLASSPATH or isn't finding C:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar.
