Howdy, You need the commons-digester library to use the balancer webapp. There's a copy in $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib if you can't find one. However, your specific error is NOT a ClassNotFoundException. It indicates a different version of the Digester library is on the runtime classpath. Have you download a different Digester version, or maybe have one within your IDE? It's tough to tell more without any context as to when/where you're getting the exception.
