Hello All, I am the friend that Jesse was speaking of who was having Tomcat trouble.
(For the record, I'm using Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.16) Thank you all for your help! I was able to get Tomcat up and running... turns out my problem was that it wasn't properly finding the JDK. Since Debian has a bias against non-free software, it automatically was choosing a different JDK, but when I manually told it to use the Sun JDK (using update-alternatives, as specified in that one Ubuntu tutorial), it worked just fine. The app I was trying to set up was Orbeon Forms... and even though I was able to get Tomcat running (and properly deploying other apps), I couldn't for the life of me get Orbeon to work. After stepping through the logs and working with google a bit, I was able to determine that when TOMCAT_SECURITY is set to yes (as is the default) in /etc/default/tomcat5.5, tomcat seems to ignore the Class-Path setting in the MANIFEST.MF file inside the main jar ( ops.jar). As a result, it wasn't able to find Xerces, a critical library. It seems this is an issue that is specific to Tomcat > 5 and JBOSS > 4.0.2(which uses some Tomcat code, hence the similar behaviour). Anyway, it's up and running now. Thanks again for your help! Evan
