Which tomcat 4 is it? I am using Forte on Win2000 and don't see those errors, but I installed tomcat 4.0.3. I don't use the tomcat that came with Forte. Adding another tomcat install is very, very easy:
- download the tomcat you want, (I downloaded the binary for 4.0.3) - put it in a directory with an 8.3 name, such as c:\tomcat (mine is c:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3) - in Forte, on the Runtime tab, under "Installed Servers", right-click on "Tomcat 4.0" and choose "Add Tomcat 4.0 installation", then in the window that pops up, point at your new tomcat install - on the Runtime tab, under Server Registry->Default Servers, right-click on "Web Tier Applications" and choose "Set default server", then choose the tomcat installation you just installed. That's all it takes. In a couple of minutes, you can easily see if it's related to the version of tomcat you are using. I know that I tried to get Forte 4 to work with Tomcat 4.0.4, and got error messages, though I don't remember if they were the same/similar to what you are seeing. The folks on the Netbeans list might be able to help, though when I reported my errors, I was told to "file a bug report under tomcat integration", so your problem could very well be related to Forte, and not tomcat.

(Note that I can run any jsp page using Tomcat 3.x.) Anybody got any ideas? I have spent two days trying to figure out what I could be doing wrong but haven't been able to remedy the problem. I prefer to use Tomcat 4.0 as it is integrated with Forte and I am lazy.
