Bug#274111: Ah, found a possible cause for this bug...

[Tim Carr]

Oops, my bad, somehow skipped over that :)

So, in /usr/share/tomcat4/server/lib right after install I have:
catalina-ant.jar
catalina.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-dbcp.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-modeler.jar
jakarta-regexp.jar
mx4j.jar
servlets-cgi.renametojar
servlets-common.jar
servlets-default.jar
servlets-invoker.jar
servlets-manager.jar
servlets-ssi.renametojar
servlets-webdav.jar
tomcat-coyote.jar
tomcat-http11.jar
tomcat-jk.jar
tomcat-jk2.jar
tomcat-util.jar
tomcat-warp.jar

... most of them links to /usr/share/java (like all the commons etc). So
first thing, added a link to commons-pool.jar in /usr/share/java, didn't
fix the problem. Removed this link, and created links in
/usr/share/tomcat4/common/lib to commons-dbcp and pool (neither existed
previously). Didn't work either. So, I tried putting the server/lib link
to commons-pool back in at the same time -- as you're likely guessing,
that didn't work either.

So, I'm out of ideas. I'm willing to try other things too, let me
know...

Yes, that's probably the problem. But I need your help in finding out if

that's really the problem. Could you please answer the questions about=20
the symlinks in my previous mail? Otherwsie I'm unable to fix this=20
problem since it does not occur on my system.

That's a very bad idea since there might be conflicting JARs (e.g.=20
different versions of the same package with a different API) in there.
