Hi, Someone pointed me to where the archives are (thanks Graham) and I believe that the problem is that the code I am calling is a native method wrapper and the native code library that the wrapper class is supposed to load cannot be found. Someone else posted a similar problem and they were told that this was what the problem is but not how to resolve it. I am running tomcat 3.3.1 on Solaris. If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it thanks. Jim. PS I have set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to the library.
