Re: HTTP error 503.

Fair comment - I know it get s frustrating when you've got a prob and get
ignored.

So do the supplied webapps serve at all or is it just your own code? The
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError is often caused by Tomcat's failure
to pick up a changed (recompiled) class correctly (the new one not matching
the complied version in the 'work' dir. As someone else just mailed, this is
fixed by stopping tomcat, deleting the wok dir, then restarting. That said,
if you've got a fresh install this shouldn't have been a problem.

Perhaps worth un/reinstlling your JDK? There are a couple of known issues
with the 1.3 release - unless you need any of its features specifically I'd
go for 1.2 - it seems a more 'mature' release, as it were.
