Thanks I will pass this along to our programmers. I am in a special position as we are the webapp supplier and specify as our requirements that the end clients use Tomcat.
I therefore look at tomcat in a different light, as a tool. I am always concerned with what it the most elegant and simplest method to have our web app work with TC. As our target clients typically do not have TC running at all, there expertise is novice. I am learning TC more and more and appreciate the very clear and astute feedback I find here. Thanks. I am not a programmer and am tasked with writing out installation guide and handling TC related deployment issues. So this thread in particular is of concern to me and how I specify our installation guide and requirements. When I tested TC 5.5, I also used the recommended 1.4 JRE. And did the two steps at once. Probably now that would be not the method I should choose for an upgrade. As I know that our clients already have the 1.4 JDK installed. I will proceed with just an TC 5.5 upgrade using the previous JAVA install I used with 5.0.28.

In this case, it looks like the app is trying to store a non-serializable attribute into a Session, which expects everything to be serializable. By default, Tomcat persists sessions across restarts, so serialization is required. You can disable this persistence (look in conf/context.xml); that may not have an effect on this particular situation, since the problem is being detected during compilation of a JSP. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
