It's interesting that the Java Runtime throws a NoSuchMethodError since
the return type is not technically part of the method signature. I've
never considered this before, and it totally makes sense because the
return type really is an important part of the method. Just interesting
to note that the effective method signature is not the same as the
official one.

Another thing to note is that the Tomcat folks have made an unstable
change, here, by changing a public API. It would have been better to
create a method with a new signature and deprecated the old one, while
leaving it there.
