Error: Unable to find a javac compiler

[Fred]

I have just upgraded from Tomcat 5.0 to 5.0.27 and when I try to veiw the
website I am getting an error message root cause of "Unable to find a javac
compiler;com.su n.tools.javac.M ain is not on the classpath.Perha ps JAVA_HOME
does not point to the JDK".

When latest Tomcat was installed it pointed to the JDK directory and
everything seamed to run fine. This is the first time I have personally
upgraded Tomcat and I am sure it is somthing simple.

Where is Java-Home and how do I point it to the JDK?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try and copy
tools.jar to TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib
