Yes, it should work on XP. I use XP and Vista for development. So far so good.

Your Tomcat problem is likely detailed in the Tomcat logs.
If not, you can get lots of help at the Tomcat mailing list. It is very active.

Your current problem is not related to Spring - those will come later

You are on the right track. Get Tomcat working first.

Make sure that you followed all of the installation instructions correctly. Check JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME to make sure that you have them set correctly. Did Tomcat startup OK - check the logs for messages.

Good luck

Hi I am also new in spring. But to run your apache server you can follow following steps:
1) Download Apache from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi
Choose Download | Tomcat6 | Binary Distribution
2) unzip into E:\apache-tomcat-6.0.14
3) Install JDK5 or JRE 5 into c:\java
4) My Computer | System Property(right Click on my Computer) | Advance| Environment variable|User variable | New |and set Variable Name="JAVA_HOME"
and value=your jdk installation folder( Here c:\java)
5) Run | cmd |
cd e:
cd apache-tomcat-6.0.14\bin\startup.bat

Now from browser try http://localhost:8080
I think it will work smoothly.
