in because it finds the method for code completion, and it compiles it
fine, but when it hits that line during execution, it chokes on it with
the NoSuchMethodError.
How can that be? Why can't it find something when running that it can
when compiling?
I have the utility project listed in both "j2ee module dependencies",
and in "Project References" for the webapp. From what someone said a
couple of days ago, I should only need it in j2ee dependencies, but
something I ran into (don't recall exactly what) was only repairable by
putting it into project references as well.

J2EE apps, such as web applications, run in an app server which provides
the runtime "classpath" for the J2EE app. Since the JDT support doesn't
understand J2EE, it isn't that hard to create a build time "classpath"
that doesn't match what the app's "classpath" will be when it runs in
the app server. There is also the issue of deployment of the J2EE app,
which provides an additional opportunity for something to go wrong.
In your case, there isn't enough information to tell for sure why the
difference is occurring. I assume this still occurs after you have
stopped and restarted the server. If you remove and re-add the Project
to the server, does it still happen? This would help identify if it is
an issue with publishing the web application to the server.

I would be curious as to what including the utility project in the
Project References fixed, if you happen to remember at some point.

Since I'm in debugging mode and Eclipse is therefore in charge of all
the deployment on Tomcat 5.5.15, I figured it would know exactly where
everything was.

I tried that, and all of a sudden I'm seeing a servlet error when I try
to open the app in firefox:

It's beginning to look to me like Eclipse is getting wrapped around its
own axles here; maybe I need to do a reinstall?

Like the batch scripts that come with the binary Tomcat installs, all
Eclipse does is build Java command with a simple classpath, a few system
properties, a startup class, and a command to specify starting or
stopping. After launching this command, everything is up to Tomcat.
Eclipse is aware of common/lib as far as providing some runtime classes
for the project to build with. But beyond that, Eclipse doesn't
really know what exactly Tomcat is going to do beyond making
WEB-INF/classes and jars in WEB-INF/lib available to the webapp, as
required by the servlet spec.

This stack trace indicates that the RealTimeConfig.jsp in your webapp is
dependent on a class that has been found in the Tomcat server's "simple"
classpath (indicated by the presence of
sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass). And that class in turn has
a dependency on javax.servlet.Servlet of the servlet API. The servlet
API classes are in common/lib. Because the "common/lib" classloader is
a child of the "Tomcat server's simple classpath" classloader, classes
in the "Tomcat server's simple classpath" classloader can not see the
server API classes, per the Java spec. This is why the
NoClassDefFoundError error is occurring.
I'm not aware of any classes that are normally included in the Tomcat
server's simple classpath that would have a dependency on the servlet
API. Do you know if something has been added to the Classpath in the
launch configuration for the Tomcat sever? It should list only
bootstrap.jar and optionally for Tomcat 5.5 tools.jar as User Entries.
Cheers,
Larry

Thanks for the explanations, Larry. As I posted in a separate thread
with a different question, it turned out that the class not found was
due to user error on my part. I ended up killing most of an afternoon
chasing my tail on this one before the stupidity finally took a coffee
break and I was able to see what was in front of my nose ;-/
