In your jserv.properties file, make sure that you have this line:

# Apache JServ entry point class (should not be changed)
# Syntax: wrapper.class=[classname]
# Default: "org.apache.jserv.JServ"
wrapper.class=org.apache.jserv.JServ

If you have overridden the above line with something else, you must have 
at least one more line with the above in it. In other words if you have this:

wrapper.class=foo.bar.ack
you MUST also have another line like this:
wrapper.class=org.apache.jserv.JServ

They will be appended together internally.

Also, make sure that your wrapper.classpath= has the correct path to your ApacheJServ.jar file.

ie:

wrapper.classpath=/usr/local/jserv/ApacheJServ.jar

as an addendum to jon's explanation, here is what the relevant lines in
my jserv.conf look like....

# Apache JServ entry point class
# Syntax: wrapper.class=[classname]
# Default: "org.apache.jserv.JServ"
wrapper.class=org.apache.jserv.JServ

# CLASSPATH environment value passed to the JVM
# Syntax: wrapper.classpath=[path]
# Default: NONE (Sun's JDK/JRE already have a default classpath)
# Notes: if more than one line is supplied these will be concatenated using
#        ":" or ";" (depending wether Unix or Win32) characters.
#        JVM must be able to find JSDK and JServ classes and any
#        utility classes used by your servlets.

# Apache JServ Servlet Classes
wrapper.classpath=/usr/local/ApacheJServ-1.0/src/java/ApacheJServ.jar

check that  
1)      both of these lines are in your jserv.conf 
2)      the jar file exists and the path to it is correct for your install
3)      "jar tvf ApacheJServ.jar" produces this....

[..skipped..]

I have read http://java.apache.org/faq/index.cgi?file=85 which is no help.

I can run the system manually with no problems what so ever.   Now I have
everything setup as stated in all the documentation.  But still i get this.
 
Now what is the definite answer here?   What is the file permissions of
these files?  What is the permissions of the directories?   What is the
weather suppose to be?

really alan, that is the answer. for some reason, the jdk cannot access the
class. either your .jar file is in the wrong location, is corrupt, doesn't
exist or you have your wrapper.class and wrapper.classpath set wrong.

In the words of General Hague.... BUGGER. Checked all that Jon, still nothing.

However, Pier said something that made the whole thing work wonderfully
well.  Your right it was file permissions on the directory where the .JAR
file lives.  It needed the 'x' set on it.  Bloody marvellous . . . many
thanks chaps.

May one suggest updating the FAQ with this *nugget* of information.

Bloody good show . . . problem broadcasted, solved and off to bed, all
within 12 minutes . . . a record me thinks.
