I've also tested it on my server.  Wich uses kaffe instead of j2sdk with the same results.

Basically i can't get tomcat to run and answer to port 8180.  This is a port in the default server.xml file. 
It is possible i have to change the default configuration.

I've seen on the internet about the same error attributed to a syntax error.  I couldn't find any wrong "
in /etc/tomcat4/server.xml and /etc/tomcat4/web.xml.

I hope this qualifies as bug.  And is fixed soon.


Thanks in advance for the positive response,
