[vectrum]

THANX hiwa.for your help........

I have downloaded tomcat 5.0.18 to test simple servlets
and java mail API . I installed tomcat in drive D whereas
my my jdk 1.2 is in drive C:\. At the time of installation tomcat asked
which jvm it was to be installed on(or rather "used" ) and displayed
c:\program files\jre\ as a default.
Is that setting ok or shall I have to uninstall tomcat and install again in
C:\ ? And which jvm I should choose ?
The aformentioned jvm or the jvm came with jdk 1.2 ?
Plz help .
Regards

Thanx for your reply. I couldn't started tomcat. Whenever I try to click
in start server it displays prompt and shutdown after few seconds. I
downloaded tomcat.exe

The question is, is there actually a file c:\program files\jre\? It
might be a default setting that only assumes there is one there. If
you're not sure of the version in that location you might want to
change the setting to your own jre directory (with version 1.2). And
personally I would upgrade your jre. Unless of course you have a very
good reason not to (like usage of deprecated classes/methods).
