	Yes, this could be the source of his difficulty. See my comment below.

Ethan,

	Good. I am pleased to hear that.

Uh, "once *again*?" I did not find this error mentioned in your prior
emails on this matter. This email represents the first time that you
have mentioned encountering this particular error ("Not implemented").

What is this file, "localhost.log?" Is it opencms.log, catalina.out, or
something else? Does version 6 of OC use a name for its log file that is
different than the name that version 5 used? Version 5 used the name
"opencms.log". It did not use the name "localhost.log".

	Now, I am confused. The line above implies that you are using GCJ, the
Java part of the compiler GCC. Above, however, you stated that you were
using this:

>>J2RE 1.4.2 - from sun

So, you are using GCJ to compile your Java source code, but JRE 1.4.2
(from Sun) to execute your Java bytecode? Is that correct? And this
version of GCJ corresponds to Java _5_ (probably corresponding to JDK 
1.5), not Java 2, which corresponds to the
JRE 1.4.2? Is that also
correct? I wonder if this unusual configuration could be the cause of
your problem.
Typically, I download my JDK from either Blackdown.org or Sun's Java
site, and then use that JDK to both compile source code and execute
bytecode. That way, I am assured that the versions of my compiler and
JRE are compatible. It is possible to "mix-and-match" compilers and
JRE's, as you have done, but this practice does not seem to be the norm.

	One final item: PLEASE REMEMBER TO TRIM YOUR POSTS!
