Tomcat "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet"

Hello,

I am attempting to move a few servlets to a different server and am running into a few bugs.  Both machines run tomcat but we recently acquired a virus on one so we're consolidating.  The machine that I'm taking the files from ran tomcat 3.2 and had jdk1.3.1 installed on it.  The machine that I'm moving things to is running tomcat 4.1.27 and has j2sdk1.4.0_01 installed and has no problems serving jsp pages.  The problem I'm running into is that two of the servlets keep erroring out:

Any thoughts on what may be causing this?
