When installing Tomcat6 using the Windows Installer, the Java Options are setup to define the endorsed ir as -Djava.endorsed.dirs=${catalina.home}\common\endorsed However, if using the service.bat it sets this to -Djava.endorsed.dirs=${catalina.home}\endorsed The latter is the way the DOC describes the location of the endorsed dirs. I think the windows installer is Incorrect. I can go back in and change the Registry but is very distruptive and confusing and causes deployment problems
Thanks for the report. It has been fixed in trunk and proposed for 6.0.x
Ther patch has been applied to 6.0.x and will be in 6.0.17 onwards.
