Jasper is normally configured in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file -- there's lots of comments about it. However, this error sounds like something wrong with the classes themselves -- "jasperLog" is a public static variable in the Constants class. Did you build this version of Tomcat yourself, or are you using a binary distribution? What does your web.xml entry for this servlet look like? What does the page look like? Do you by chance have pieces of Tomcat in your system classpath, or your system extensions directory ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext)?
