You program tried to open a port that's already in use. (If you don't know 
what a port is, ..;-))

The short story is this:
a)	You've (or someone on your machine has) already started tomcat, and it's 
still running
b)	Something else is running on your machine, using the same port.

Maybe jserv? Maybe another web server?
