Thanks for your answer, but i'm not the one that's developing the site.. it's a webpage that's hosted in our servers and i don't think that it'd be the right thing to tinker with those files.. The thing that i can't understand is why, in another machine, that is running tomcat4 (not installed by me), and j2sdk 1.3 runs ok.. I'm running tomcat5 and j2sdk 1.4
