problems runing jsp examples which come with Tomcat3.2.2

[Ali Rahmanzadeh <ah...@acl.icnet.uk>]

Dear all,
	I have installed Tomcat3.2.2 on a Solaris 8 system with jdk1.3.
I can run all the servlet examples, but I get java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
exception when I try to run any of the jsp examples. The followings is what 
I get when I try to run 'date.jsp'. I would appreciate any suggestions that 
you may have.


When I start Tomcat it tells me that the class path is:

Using classpath: 
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/lib/ant.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/lib/jasper.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/lib/
jaxp.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/lib/parser.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/lib/servlet.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomc
at-3.2.2/lib/test:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/lib/webserver.jar:/usr/local/jdk1.3/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/jdk1.3

All the paths are valid.
