Processing problem

Hello,
I am using a Macbook pro, OSX10.5.5 with the latest version of java. I am hooking up my arduino board to my port with a simple photocell circuit; however, when I run my processing code to draw the sketch and illustrate my photocell's light data, it gives me this error message:

This is my processing code:

/*
*  pa_Potentiometer
*  
*  Reads the values which represent the state of a potentiometer 
*  from the serial port and draws a graphical representation.

Could there be a problem with java ? or the Server that is set up ?

Hi yanntrab, I think your problem lies in these lines:

import processing.net.*;
Server myServer;
myServer = new Server(this, 8080);
DisplayItems di;

I am not familiar enough with the classes in processing .net to suggest a fix. You may get quicker answer in the processing forums

Good luck!
