Thanks for taking the time... My server.xml file is well-formed, so I take that to mean there are no syntax errors. In any case, I haven't altered server.xml since I installed Tomcat (except temporarily when I first tried to solve this problem).
I'm going to examine my jars in server\lib to see if the missing files are there. I'll post again if I continue to have trouble. Thanks for the tips. -- On Tue, 12 Nov 2002 16:29:54 Sinclair, Alan (CORP, GEAccess) wrote: >Are the class files in ..server/lib still present ?
