If I try to browse any jsp-file I get the following error:

Internal Servlet Error:

If you check out e.g. 
http://www.google.com/search?q=ExceptionHandler.doService+NoSuchMethodError&hl=e
n&safe=off&filter=0
you can see that many user do have the same problem with different 
configurations, so I guess it doesn't have to do with wrong settings of 
CLASSPATH, TOMCAT_HOME, JAVA_HOME or a specific OS.

Additionally I experience the following:
- If I start tomcat from the command line as follows 
java org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat -h /home/ssg/httpd/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3
or using the startup.sh script everything works fine.

- If I start tomcat from a tcl script using jacl as follows
set targs [java::new {String[]} 2 "-h /home/ssg/httpd/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3"]
java::call org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat main $targs
I'm getting the error described above.

- If I start tomcat with the work directory already containing the generated 
java and class files I get the error "document contains no data" from Netscape.

- Browsing of html or gif files works fine.

I'm using tomcat standalone on port 8082. My jdk version is 1.3.1, the Linux 
Version 
is RedHat 7.1.
