Description:
i use: tomcat 3.2.1, xalan 1.2, xerces (that came with xalan), winnt 4.0 (sp6)
i've got following problem, when im using tomcat as a winnt service:
when i start tomcat using startup.bat everything is fine
for an example:
http://localhost:8888/DefaulApplyXSL?URL=/data.xml&xslURL=/style.xsl
and
http://localhost:8888/DefaulApplyXSL?URL=/data.xml
working fine and produce required result
data.xml contain of course the following string:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://localhost:8888/style.xsl"?>

but if i start tomcat as a winnt service
only the following works:
http://localhost:8888/DefaulApplyXSL?URL=/data.xml&xslURL=/style.xsl

if i omit xslURL parameter it produces an error:
