Hello

1.You have to install J2sdk before you install tomcat
2. Then the tomcat will automatically take the jvm and you neednot set the java home for tomcat. But at the time of compilation [If you are not using any IDE(Eclipse or Netbeans) you have to set the classpath and path to jvm]
3. you can download netbeans bundled with tomcat no nead to set anything for that(Not recommended)
becasuse once u used this you will not learn about the folder structure of webapplication becos the IDE automaticcaly do all these things
ok
if you have any doubt reply me

I already have j2sdk and path to its bin directory is set.
I am not using any IDE.Which class path it requires to set?

[sajeev_k]

which version of j2sdk u are using?
if there is no way you uninstall tomcat, j2sdk and again do it from start
if you are doing it just for testing or for studying
you install j2sdk and tomcat in c:\ itself.
if you install both in different drives with out proper setting some problem may occur. remove all java_home setting ok
then try
ok

Hi abhijeet,

Make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable just points to the directory where J2SDK is available,not to the bin of J2SDK.

Thanks
