Er... I just ran it with sablevm and it worked fine.

Latest CVS and I did this:

$ cd paperclips # The CVS directory
$ cd ..         # change to where the webapp is
$ sablevm -c`makepath paperclips/lib/*.jar:paperclips/paperclips.jar` \
>    --config=server.xml

Where the server.xml was what you gave me (I think) which is this:

   <!DOCTYPE server PUBLIC 
             "-//Free Software Foundation//DTD Paperclips  Server //EN"
              "http://www.gnu.org/software/paperclips/server.dtd";>

   <!-- an example paperclips config file -->
   <server>

     <warpath path="."/>

     <!-- only a server can have a tcp port setup.
          More than one can be declared though. -->
     <tcp port="7171"/>

     <host>

       <!-- Logging of host stuff will go to a special log
            file which is changed every day and called by the name
            specified.
         -->
       <log level="WARNING">
         <sink class-name="gnu.paperclips.utils.DailyLogSink" 
param="'www-tf-'dd'-'MM'-'yyyy"/>
       </log>

       <!-- Log all HTTP requests for this host. 
            Eventually this will allow Apache compatible log specs. -->
       <httplog format="%a %s" />

       <!-- Create a mapping for an HTTP Server at / -->
           <mapping pattern="/">
                   <file-dir name="ROOT" />
           </mapping>
     </host>

   </server>


The ROOT directory looks like this:

  total used in directory 12K available 14576740
  drwxr-xr-x  2 nferrier staff 4.0K Aug 26 01:17 .
  drwxr-xr-x  3 nferrier staff 4.0K Nov 10 11:48 ..
  -rw-------  1 nferrier staff   42 Aug 24 18:25 index.html


Then I hit:

     http://localhost:7171/ 

in a browser and I got the contents of index.html
