Greetings! Well, I fixed the "problem" completely!
I checked the jar files I was using in JDK/jre/lib/ext against the ones in Tomcat 4.0.1, and the file "servlet.jar" was larger and newer. Although I'm using JDK 1.3 on my machine, servlet.jar (and a number of other JAVAX jar files) come from the Sun site as "add ins". I tried replacing my older "servlet.jar" with the one in TOMCAT/common/lib, and everything works, including (non-classpath) compiles! This is not only great news, but solves all my Tomcat 4.0 / 4.0.1 problems! So - I would say the key thing here with "add on" jar files is that whatever you have in Tomcat library directories MUST BE IDENITCAL with whatever you have in your JDK, especially the JDK/jre/lib/ext directory. I have identical copies of mail.jar, activation.jar and servlet.jar in both places, and *now that they are identical copies*, Tomcat 4.0.1 works perfectly.
