I am running OS X 10.2.4 on my powerbook and it comes with JDK 1.4.1. I had followed this article to install JWSDP kit and tutorial. But I am running into problems starting and stopping the Tomcat server. The funny thing is when I start it up it does output some java exceptions complaining that "connection refused" in the log files. But when I try to connect to the localhost at 8080 it does bring up the JWSDP page. But when I try to stop it or deploy a servlet to it using Ant tool I get the "connection refused" exception. I am totally confused. Then I read about the package on Aron Faby's site and downloaded that and followed the instructions. But no success. I get the same error when I try to stop the tomcat server. Can somebody help me? I am not sure if the problem is with the OS X version or JDK version 1.41 or Tomcat version 4.1. Thanks

  I've upgraded to java 1.4 too and am now running Tomcat 4.1.24LE - works fine except that to get XML stuff going properly I had to copy my xercesImpl.jar and xmlAPIs.jar files into tomcat/common/endorsed.
  
  It would help you'd posted the exceptions you get. I've had no trouble and run 5 different tomcats on my tibook depending on the project I am working on. Free free to email me directly (get my email address of the week off http://www.davesag.com) and I'll try and help. cheers davesag.

  I am running on 10.2.6, and I also recieve java exceptions when I try to start the server- I ran a search and found four xercesImpl.jar files and no xmlAPIs.jar files- What should I do to get running? Also- startup won't write exceptions to log file unless I use sudo, which I see a lot of people say is unnecessary- Thanks

  JDK 1.3.1 still lives on your Mac. Just change the java_home to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Home
  
  This sould clear up your problems.
