I've got the same problem (Win98 - PWS 4 - jdk 1.2.2 - Tomcat 3.1)
This happens only for jsp. Servlets run correctly.
> I have just installed the tomcat system under Windows NT and want to serve
> some jsp pages. When the first jsp page is executed, I get the
> NoClassDefFoundError message (the error message is given below).
>
> Does somebody have an idea what is wrong ?
>
> Can somebody tell me how to obtain a more detailed error log ?
>
> I got the error message below by executing the
> /examples/jsp/sessions/carts.html
> page in the examples provided with the tomcat system and then by clicking
> on the ADD button.
>
> Thanks for any help
