sun/tools/javac/Main not found while running Tomcat 4 as a service on Windows 2000

           Summary: sun/tools/javac/Main not found while running Tomcat 4 as
                    a service on Windows 2000
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: beem_r@crane.navy.mil


I'm having the following problem only on Windows 2000 with Sun's JDK 1.4.  It 
works with Windows NT 4.0 and Sun's JDK 1.3.1.

My JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables are properly set.

While running Tomcat 4 as a service on Windows 2000 I get the following error 
when accessing any JSP page that isn't already compiled:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main

I believe sun.tools.javac.Main is called while the JSP page is compiled, and is 
containted in C:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar.

For testing, delete all the files and folders in the "Apache Tomcat 4.0\work" 
directory to force a recompile of the JSP pages.

When I run Tomcat 4 from the command line with startup.bat it tells me that 
C:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar is included in the CLASSPATH and JSP pages compile and 
work as expected.  If I start Tomcat 4 as a service it doesn't seem to be using 
the same CLASSPATH or isn't finding C:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar.
