Problem compiling NAS 2.1 AppLogics on iAS 6.0 SP4 on Solaris

Question

I'm currently trying to upgrade our live server from
iAS 6.0 SP2 to iAS 6.0 SP4 (on Solaris 8) and ran into
a problem in recompiling some NAS 2.1 AppLogics on my
SP4 server. I made no modifications to the code or
build.xml which runs fine on SP2. Here's what happens
when I run build :
wwwtest% build
Searching for build.xml ...
Buildfile: /export/home/iplanet/ias6/ias/APPS/TBG/build.xml
compile:
[javac] Compiling 207 source files to /export/home/iplanet/ias6/ias/APPS
[javac] /export/home/iplanet/ias6/ias/APPS/TBG/BaseResource.java:0: The method void setSessionTimeout(int) declared in class com.netscape.server.nas.BaseResource cannot override the method of the same signature declared in interface com.kivasoft.ISession2. They must have the same return type.
[javac] package TBG;
[javac] ^
[javac] 1 error
BUILD FAILED
/export/home/iplanet/ias6/ias/APPS/TBG/build.xml:48: Compile failed, messages should have been provided.
Total time: 26 seconds
Here's my kludged-together build.xml (only the
compile target does anything for this app...)

Hi,
Greetings to you. I'm interested to know the following.
1. Are you able to run cxs engine ?. This means, just start the cxs engine
without any errors before invoking any components with app server.
2. Does cxs engine crash after you start and kas keeps restarting the cxs
engine.
Thanks & Regards
Raj
