'class' or 'interface' expected error meesage on jsp

[webster_boy]

Hi,

When loading a page I get the error message below. I know the errors refers to the servlet.jar and I've checked the contents of the jar files and the package is defintely correct and the classes are there. Can anyone explain what else can cause this error??

ERROR MESSAGE:

500 Internal Server Error
