I nave configured my external tomcat 4.0.2 in a multi-user way, so that: Home is c:\Work\tomcat4 which contains bin, classes, common, lib and server subdirectories. Base is c:\Work\tomcat4base which contains conf, logs, webapps and work subdirectories When I attempt to execute a simple JSP on this instance (after installing it under the Tomcat 4 node on the Runtime tab Installed Servers node), I get the following exception: Thu Mar 07 13:52:30 PST 2002: java.lang.NullPointerException: Posted StackTrace Annotation: Exception occurred in Request Processor

works for me win 2000; jdk 1.4; fresh ee (Build 20020308-1133); fresh tomcat 4.0.2 - copy 4 folders from the tomcat home to tomcat base dir - start IDE - add external installation (HOME dir, BASE dir, full install) - create a simple JSP - select target server - execute JSP all is OK
sorry: - copy 4 folders from the tomcat home to tomcat base dir not copy, but move
This seems unrelated to 21329, removing the dependency.
