1. I have 3 versions of Tomcat, 2 are "associated" with Jbuilder. These 2 versions start off and give me an error described below. The point to note is that the command window(dos) in which I run it stays and does not disappear.
2. Downloaded a version of Tomcat , the port for which I have chosen as 8000. I have tried starting it from startup.bat and catalina.bat run options. In all cases above 1 and 2 , Tomcat is starting off - that is 100% sure. (I can see http://localhost:portno/ page). In case 1 the tomcat server window stays on the screen. In case 2 it disappears but I can see it is running as a process after doing CTRL-ALT-DELETE for windows XP. The exceptions in all cases is similar :- Why is this exception coming and how can I remove it. So my questions are :- 1. How do I remove the exception below. 2. In CASE 2 above, while running tomcat server ,why does the does window not remain on screen and disappear ( something like "echo on" should make it remain,not go as a background process, I have tried catalina.bat start also, Funnily the Tomcat servers with JBuilder remain on screen , this is imp for jsp debugging later on and System.out.printlns etc . ) Thanks Tript Singh I am copying pasting the exception below:- C:\Tomcat4\Tomcat 4.1\bin>catalina.bat run Using CATALINA_BASE: ..
