Since upgrading to Tomcat 7.0.16, the command line noted at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/realm-howto.html hasn't worked for me. I've been unable to find any answers from google, other than some references that seem to say I'm missing tomcat-util.jar on my classpath (which I'm not). I did narrow the problem down to catalina.jar. If I copy an old version into the lib directory, overwriting the new copy, it works again. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? See below for examples of running the command with various versions.
OS: Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Thanks, Jeremy C.
