I think the problem is that Tomcat 3.2.4 requires
Xerces 1.4.4, and the version of xerces.jar that comes
in the server installation package is from an earlier
version.

You should be able to download Xerces 1.4.4 from the
xerces site:

http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/

Download Xerces-J-bin.1.4.4.zip, unzip it (I had to
use jar, for some reason), take xerces.jar and drop it
into your sourcejammer/WEB-INF/lib directory. 

Hopefully you won't encounter any more errors.

Oh, one other thing. You may need to remove the "Fix
Headers" entry in server_sourcejammer.xml.

Good luck. And thanks for sticking with it.

By the way, I am going to be releasing SJ 1.1 beta in
a couple of weeks. I hope to have some default scripts
that will work with Tomcat 3.2.4 and 3.3 at that time.
Thought you might like to know. 1.1 represents a
pretty large improvement over 1.0, though most of the
core functionality is the same.
