Lenny, disclaimer: I don't use JSP's myself so I might be totally off here...
but there is the following comment in Tomcat 4.1 Release Notes: "------------------------------ Using Jasper 1 with Tomcat 4.1: ------------------------------ It is possible to use Jasper 1 (included in Tomcat 4.0.x) with Tomcat 4.1, as it has the same API and supports the same JSP API. To use Jasper 1 instead of Jasper 2, copy the two following JARs to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (overwriting the two existing JARs): * $TOMCAT40_HOME/lib/jasper-runtime.jar * $TOMCAT40_HOME/lib/jasper-compiler.jar However, users are urged to use the version of Jasper included with Tomcat 4.1 (Jasper 2), as it has much higher performance and scalability than Jasper 1." would switching back to Jasper 1 help?
