Tomcat: How to install Tomcat v4 on Microsoft Windows XP? [JSP / 
servlet / Java]
Steps: Overview
 1. Java Developer Kit (JDK) should be installed on your system
    Download e.g. from
       http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/
       or the latest at:
       http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/
 2. It is important to set the environment variable:
     e.g.
       SET JAVA_HOME=jdk1.3.1_02
     or a later version of the JDK
 3. Download the exe or zip tomcat file (e.g. jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2.exe)
    e.g. from URL
       http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-
4.0/release/v4.0.2/bin/
 4. Unzip or run the Java SDK file, e.g. by typing the command in
    an MSDOS box (where environment variable JAVA_HOME is set to
    e.g. jdk1.3.1_02 or later)
     jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2.exe
    Install this into the default directory.
    This should create a new subdirectory (e.g. c:\program 
files\Apache Tomcat 4.0)
 5. It is important to set the environment variables:
    (in general:
      SET JAVAHOME=<your JDK main directory>
      and
      SET CATALINA_HOME=<your Tomcat main directory>)
    ---
      for example:
       SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_02
       SET CATALINA_HOME=c:\progra~1\apache~1.0
 6. Open an MSDOS box, and start tomcat, by typing the command:
     c:\program files\apache tomcat 4.0\bin\startup.bat
    You will see that an MSDOS box starts up with
    the message that tomcat has started.
 7. Restart your browser, and type the following URL
     http://localhost:8080
    You should see the Tomcat homepage.
