Harry, I looked at the java class files and verified there is no constructor without arguments. That's good enough for me. You're correct that my error description fell short of the mark. As expected, the compiler output is much more precise than my description. That's probably why Chris Schultz asked for more specifics.
I'm new here and can't tell everyone how much I appreciate your help and how quick it all came. I'm new to Tomcat and JSP -- usually work with a different framework in a different language. You all couldn't be more helpful.
