Tomcat 5 Clustering

[Matt Rapoport]

Hi All,

I am a Tomcat newbie running Tomcat 5 and I would like to implement
clustering between 2 servers. I followed the instructions given at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/cluster-howto.html

When I uncomment the cluster tag in server.xml and the replication
valve (as per the instructions) I got the following error upon
starting up Tomcat. Does anyone know why???

Thank You,

Matt

Do you use a JDK/JRE < 1.4 for the tomcat? CharSequence is new in 1.4
