I see in your batch file under 'classpath' you are missing a back slash for 
including j2ee.jar.

Also my suggestion would be:
-Install atleast JDK 1.3 or above as most of the J2EE services work better 
with JDK2.0 and above.

-If you are running Windows NT or Unix, set it up as Environment Variables 
for JAVA_HOME, J2EE_HOME and CLASSPATH. If not, try modifying your batch 
file with:

set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3
set J2EE_HOME=c:\j2sdkee1.3.1
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%J2EE_HOME\bin;%PATH%;
set 
CLASSPATH=.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\ejbdeployment10.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\jhall.jar;%CLASSP
ATH%

Good Luck.

Suresh
