No action instance for path / could not be created.

[rob]

This seems to be a fairly common problem and I have gone through
the archives prior to posting this but have yet to discover a
solution.

I'm getting that common error Error 500 No action instance for path
/login could be created.  The difficulty I'm having is that the
application was and is running perfectly fine on a tomcat 4.x
servlet container.  The error I'm observing are occuring under a
tomcat 3.x servlet container.

I'm kind of desperate here, solutions would be good.

Thanks

Rob
