Hi Vinnie...
Regarding you post, it could have been in the Servlets forum.Any way,
it will be moved there by the bartenders.
Regarding your problem, I would like to ensure whether you have the
servlet-api.jar in the Tomcat\Commons\lib Folder.
Ensure that.
Also check whether all the necessary Environment Variables are set in
your system. They are mandatory for smooth running of Tomcat, otherwise
he is troublesome.
If you would like to have a look on the Environment Variables,
have a look
At This post, where you may find some info about the Environment Variables.
Try those...That should help you.
Cheers,
Swamy
