Tomcat can be run as a standalone server. It's not really suited for certain high-traffic production environments, but it's great for development.
I figured you were running WebSphere because of the com.ibm.ws exceptions. You know, it might be worth opening up servlet-api.jar wherever WebSphere keeps it (or wherever HttpServlet.class is), and checking the date on javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.class. Mine has 2/13/2004 9:36 PM. It's possible your serer is running with an outdated jar file. --- In [email protected], "Corey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Doug, > > Thanks for the help!
