hi,
I'm using idea to run my Web application within tomcat 4.1
The applicationi is deployed fine but when I want to use it from the web
browse the following error message is displayed:

Exception compiling Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

The problem is that I have the JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar in the classpath.
Here is the command which starts the Tomcat:

As we can see the tools.jar is in the classpath.
Can somebody help me with this?
I'm using idea 1117
