Howdy, Simple test: go to your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib, do jar tvf rt.jar | grep ArrayList if you're running 1.3.1, you should see two lines, one for java/util/ArrayList and one for java/util/Arrays$ArrayList.
If they're not there, you're not using 1.3.1. ;) I think I saw an earlier post from you saying you were getting this error using java 1.1.3. That JDK does not have the Collections framework (to which ArrayList belongs). Tomcat 4.x needs the collections framework, hence use JDK 1.2 or later.
