Actually, a simple scenario has finally occurred to me. I believe on Linux, the Servlet/JSP APIs are packaged separately from the Tomcat package. Installing Tomcat on the first system probably installed an updated version of the Servlet/JSP APIs. By copying instead of installing on second system, you are using whatever Servlet/JSP API that happens to be installed. Apparently, this is an older version. It would be better if you installed the three apps on the second system and only copied your configuration changes, provided my assumptions are correct.
