Ok, after further investigating, I realize I must have screwed up my Tomcat 
installation somewhere along the line because a Request Dispatcher that 
worked several months ago no longer works and give the same errors below.
Based on this, I can rule out the Filter code being wrong and turn my attention
to stuff I recently added. 
The prime suspect as always is the xml libraries. Would this affect it ? 
I hate the fact that adding JAXP to my system breaks some Tomcat things. 
Recently I added JAXP which means that I now have in <tomcat>/common/lib,
- activation.jar
- dom.jar
- jaxp-api.jar
- jdbc2_0_stdext.jar
- jndi.jar
- jta.jar
- ldap.jar
- mail.jar
- mysql.jar
- naming-common.jar
- naming-resources.jar
- sax.jar
- servlet.jar
- tools.jar
- tyrex-0.9.7.0.jar
- xalan.jar
- xercesImpl.jar
- xsltc.jar
and in <tomcat>/jasper I have,
- crimson.jar
- jasper-compiler.jar
- jaxp.jar
In order to install JAXP I had to remove 'jaxp-api.jar' from <tomcat>/jasper
Could any of this be the cause, or should I really look at just reinstalling
the latest stable version of Tomcat4 ? 
 
If it helps, my classpath includes, 
commons-beanutils.jar;   (jakarta)
commons-collections.jar; (jakarta)
jakarta-oro-2.0.6.jar;   (jakarta)
commons-digester.jar;    (jakarta)
commons-logging.jar;     (jakarta)
velocity-J2EE-dep-1.3-rc1.jar;
activation.jar;          (javamail)
mail.jar;                (javamail)
<tomcat_home>\common\lib\servlet.jar;
dom.jar;                  (jaxp)
jaxp-api.jar;             (jaxp)
sax.jar;                  (jaxp)
xalan.jar;                (jaxp)
xercesImpl.jar;           (jaxp)
xsltc.jar;                (jaxp)
turbine-2.2-b2-dev.jar;   (jetspeed)
jetspeed-1.4b1.jar;       (jetspeed)
ecs-1.4.1.jar;            (jetspeed)
but things in the classpath shouldn't affect Tomcat, I think.

mmmmm, I have no idea which class this could be referring 
to then, unless it means one of Tomcat's distribution 
classes. To further debug, I removed ALL other classes 
under "WEB-INF/classes", so that I only have my one Filter
there. I also removed all jars from WEB-INF/lib, then
restarted Tomcat. Therefore, the only superclass involved
is the Filter class.

I recompiled my LanguageFilter.java and yet the error 
still occured.

Sorry, yes, I copied an earlier/older trace.

I've done exactly that now (basically due to the fact that
I only have the ONE class - the LanguageFilter.java) 

I have even deleted the entire contents of the "/work"
directory and restarted Tomcat again to ensure that it 
is not an old class being cached in memory.

Interestingly, the very first time that I make a request to 
the Filter, I get the following error message:

Yet when I hit "reload" the error message changes to:

These error messages were created with this Filter code
and I've added the check you suggested in your earlier 
reply.


package test;

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public final class LanguageFilter implements Filter {

private FilterConfig filterConfig = null;

public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) {
this.filterConfig = filterConfig;
}

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
String servletPath = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getServletPath();
// If the first element is '/en/' or '/fr/' :
if (servletPath.indexOf("/en/") == 0 || servletPath.indexOf("/fr/") == 0) {
String lang = servletPath.substring(1,3);
request.setAttribute("lang", lang);
String targetURL = servletPath.substring(3);
System.out.println(targetURL);
RequestDispatcher rd = null;
ServletContext sc = this.filterConfig.getServletContext();
rd = sc.getRequestDispatcher(targetURL);
System.out.println("ok, RequestDispatcher created");
if (rd!=null) {
rd.forward(request, response);
}
return;
}
// No language match, so just handle the request as normal.
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}

public void destroy() {
}


}


It works fine for URLs that do not start with /en/ or /fr/
so it really does seem to be a RequestDispatcher and not
Filter problem.
