Tomcat 4.0.2 CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME

Hi

Im using tomcat 4.0.2 for the first time after converting from 3.3a.
Would like to noe whether i need to set any environment variables for
CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME?

Im using J2EE.jar from my J2EE1.3 RI folder to compile my codes in servlets
and jsp.

Unless you are deploying multiply hosts you can safely use CATALINA_HOME 
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2 ( if on a M$Win Platform )
I would advise you to read the doc's supplied with tomcat-4.0.2

<Running.txt>
In many circumstances, it is desirable to have a single copy of a Tomcat 4
binary distribution shared among multiple users on the same server.  To make
this possible, you must configure a CATALINA_BASE environment variable (in
addition to CATALINA_HOME as described above) that points to a directory
that is unique to your instance.

When you do this, Tomcat 4 will calculate all relative references for 
files in
the following directories based on the value for CATALINA_BASE instead of
CATALINA_HOME:

The above is  within Jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2\Running.txt File have a read .
