jspc precompilation works in tomcat 3.2.3 but fails in tomcat-4.0-b7

[Thomas Crook <tj...@yahoo.com>]

I successfully ran the following command to precompile our struts-based 
application under tomcat 3.2.3:

 /opt/tomcat/bin/jspc.sh -webinc jspc.xml -webapp .

Can anyone give me suggstions as to why it fails like this when I 
attempt to run it under jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b7?
The non-precompiled app itself runs fine under 4.0-b7, but judging by 
the output ,jspc appears to not be finding the .tlds.
