+1 This stack trace doesn't even correspond to Tomcat 3.3.x. It looks like it is Tomcat 3.2.x, which hasn't been supported in a really long time (like from about the time that the first Tomcat 4.0 came out). Of course, JNIEndpoint died with Tomcat 3.3.x (but support for it in mod_jk died out much earlier). So add mod_jk to the components to modernize. > Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
