    <p>During an Ant build of Metacat, you will see many HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse and

    other errors.  The compiler will complain that it cannot find a symbol, for example:</p>

      <div class="code">

      [javac] /home/daigle/workspace/metacat/build/src/edu/ucsb/nceas/metacat/MetaCatServlet.java:506: cannot find symbol<br>

      [javac] symbol  : class HttpServletResponse<br>

      [javac] location: class edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.MetaCatServlet<br>

      [javac] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {<br>

      [javac] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^<br>

      </div>

    <p>This is usually caused by the build not being able to find native Tomcat libraries. edit your

    build.properties file in  

  <a name="503ServiceTemporarilyUnavailable"></a><div class="header2">Mutliple Tests Fail : 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</div>

    <p>When running "ant test", multiple tests fail.  The output files have the error: </p>

      <div class="code">503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</div>

    <p>This typically means your Metacat server is not running.</p>
