tomcat , wondoze , Unable to find a javac compiler;

unfortuntaly i have to setup tomcat on windoze.
i have it working on tons of linux boxs, and this has been a royle
pain. Ok enough whinning.

so when i try to display a jsp is get the error
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK


in the tomcat monitor i have "Use default" selected

in the XP env vars i have
CLASSPATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\lib
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04

so what have i missed

Thanks

Are the env vars User variables for your account or system variables?  
Take a look at this:

1. Click Start, then RIGHT click on My Computer.
2. Choose Properties from the pop-up menu
3. Click the Advanced tab in the System Properties window.
4. Click on the Environment Variables button
5. The resulting window has two halves.  The top is the user's 
environment, the bottom is the system.

The System variables should include JAVA_HOME.  CLASSPATH need not be 
set or can be set to something unrelated to tomcat.

"Java location: The installer will use the registry or the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to determine the base path of the JDK or a JRE. If
only a JRE (or an incorrect path) is specified, Tomcat will run but will
be unable to compile JSP pages at runtime. Either all webapps will need
to be precompiled (this can be easily done using the Tomcat deployer),
or the lib\tools.jar file from a JDK installation must be copied to the
common\lib path of the Tomcat installation."

Using the JAVA_HOME on my windoze box didn't work and I ultimately
copied the tools.jar file, which worked.  Now I just have to remember I
did that in the future.
