Hi,
As I am trying to run my first program from Chp 01 of HFSJ,

It compile fine.
But I am not able to run my tomcat both from command prompt (I am using windows XP), and when i am try to start from Start menu->all programs->Apache Program 5.0->Monitor Tomcat
then instance of tomcat is run in system try, but when i click on tomcat icon ...it showed
service status : Stopped
then i clicked on Start tab to start the service but it does not change status....its shows old Stopped status.

I was try it to many time but i am unable to start services of tomcat.

Please also suggest me how to run tomcat from windows command prompt.

As currently i am using tomcat 5.28, in installed in C drive in which OS installed.
Thanks in advance.

I installed my tomcat as...
1- dowanload exe file of tomcat 5.28 in my f: drive
2- click on this exe file to install tomcat and set the path as C:\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
3- no change in server port as defult is 8080 then set the password
3- set the jre path as C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
