embedded_server.bat: The syntax of the command is incorrect.

[nik]

hi guys,
I am not very good with tomcat server and stuff so please help me out here.

When I click on start_embedded_server.bat it just exits without an error.
When I run it from command prompt it says "The syntax of the command is incorrect." and exits.

I am on windows xp and have checked my java installation and path settings. I use other java applications fine on my box.

Please advise,
Thankyou,
Nikun

It sounds like you may have edited start_embedded_server.bat file, possibly with a program that has saved the file back to disk in a mangled format (eg RTF instead of plain text). Get a fresh copy and try again.

I had the same trouble with the bat :p, but fixed it editing the file smartclientSDK\WEB-INF\bin\embeddedTomcat.bat

my trouble was that i have vista64 and have java "1.6.0_16" for 64 bits and it is installed on
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0
and it exactly is what i have on variable JAVA_HOME

by some strange reason on the embeddedTomcat.bat
the line
echo:Using user-defined JAVA_HOME: %JAVA_HOME%
throws the error and it stops running the bat.
so i fixed locally as
echo:Using user-defined JAVA_HOME: "%JAVA_HOME%"

and all run smooth
