The 500 error code means that the server encountered an unexpected condition
when it attempted to fulfill your request.
Looks like you don't have the JDK's lib/tools.jar in your CLASSPATH. You're
not picking up the javac compiler. You're also using an old version of
Tomcat. I would use Tomcat 4.0 to get the latest implementation of the JSP
and servlets spec as well as numerous bug fixes.
