You have a problem here; at least some parts of Log4j are in inoprative state (and you could get more error messages of the same kind later on). You should fix this by fixing the classloading issue (which pretty much means throwing the jar files out of WEB-INF\lib), unless you can revert the classloading structure back to what it was in TC 5.5 - which seems unlikely. -- ..Juha --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
