Hello again, Filip, I tried to "package up" the 2 required files, login.jsp and LDAPAuth.java into a newly created "org.burrus.test" folder, and then compiled them into that same folder/directory to create 2 .class files, but then when I tried to run the whole program in my JBuilder 8, I STILL got, for my efforts, the old 505 server error page:
