Sorry for the mix up.
The work around is to copy \jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar to the Apache Tomcat
4.0\common\lib folder.

A work around that works is to copy \jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar to the Apache
Tomcat 4.0\bin folder. Tomcat will then find tools.jar.
Check in your registry. I had HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java
Development Kit\1.4\JavaHome set to C:\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4 for some reason.
The JDK install did not set this correctly. I set it to point to C:\jdk1.4,
but it didn't fix the problem.

Same problem with me, when i upgraded my tomcat 3.1 to tomcat 4.0 , and my
tomcat 3.1 stoped compiling all the new JSP pages, where as all pages work
fine with tomcat4.0
I hope some one can help us in this.
