A very, very wrong thing to do. The tomcat-juli.jar must only be in Tomcat's bin directory; do not attempt to move it or copy it. Fix the startup script to build the command line properly. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
