Hi there,
I'm a newbie in programming with servlets java, and untill now I used tomcat 4 to test my web application wich gave me the chance to watch on the prompt dos style what it was doing trough simple output commands like "system out print". Now that I've installed the new version 5.0 I cannot find anymore that prompt; instead I've got a small icon at the bottom of the window wich gives me only the possibility to start, stop and configure tomcat.
It could seems a banal question, but it would be very helpfull for me if someone could suggest me what to do to debug my applications in tomcat 5.
thanks in advance for your help.

the startup command in the tomcat_home/bin/ here have a startup.bat,you could double link the startup.bat to start up your Tomcat.

you should register environment parameters for Tomcat in your operate Sys.
this is like your register environment parameters for JDK.

my environment parameters for Tomcat
CATALINA_HOME
C:\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
PATH
C:\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin

now you can run your Tomcat from DOS command!!

thank you very much for your help!
