Hi fellow ranchers. I'm having this problem with
Tomcat 4.1.18 refusing to load up the sevlet.jar file at server start-up. I put the file in the lib directory of the web application as I've done always. I've even swapped different versions of the servlet.jar file but Tomcat simply rejects it. Here is what gets printed out on the standard output (DOS Window) when I start Tomcat:

Please look at lines 11-14 of the output. When i read the mentioned Servlet 2.3 section I'm still none the wiser. Please shed some light. I'm on a Windows XP Pro box.
