Do your files even compile? I had a problem running TC 4.1.31, but it was prior to running files on the server. Since some of the API methods varied slightly, I had several servlets that would not even compile. Of course this was when I tried to upgrade the JVM, which was necessary to run (I believe) a newer version of the JDK. Either that or the JDK's API was so different that stuff would no longer compile and therefore not run. At least in my environment.
