"FATAL ERROR in native method: Expected a string"

["Bruce Jin" <JIN007M@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed tomcat on an AS400. This box has jdk1.2.  The is the first time we 
try run Java code on this box. I started tomcat and it I got the error "FATAL 
ERROR in native method: Expected a string".   It appears that it failed when 
the system tried to attaching JVAPGM to tomcat jar files because the failing 
point is where I usually see "Attaching Java program to xxx.jar file" messages. 
      

Any ideas? Do I miss something on this as400?

Thanks.

Bruce.
