Thanks for your guys' feedback ... I had removed 6.0.37 and installed 6.0.16. I
then put back 6.0.37 (in a different directory) and tried it again and it
somehow magically worked with 6.0.37 (after it had already worked on 6.0.16).
So now it works on both. I'm not really sure what it was, and even though it
works now, I still do not have a warm feeling about this. I think I may just
revert to 6.0.16 and continue to use that. Perhaps when I get more time, I can
pick the code apart to figure out exactly what was not working right. I was
hoping to do that when considering a migration to Tomcat 7 though, not for a
minor version change like this. I use lots of JSTL (WEB-INF\lib\jstl.jar and
standard.jar) and postgresql (\lib\postgresql.jar) for the db - perhaps 6.0.37
did not like something there. btw: Mark, the View Source showed 8 blank lines
when it didn't work - and that's it - no other errors in any of the logs
either. Nothing in the Browser error console. Thanks again -BT
