I can easily reproduce it. The full stacktrace is the following:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
	at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.<clinit>(Bootstrap.java:54)
	at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)

	at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:27)
	at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:513)
	at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:355)
	at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308)
	at org.apache.commons.daemon.support.DaemonLoader.load(DaemonLoader.java:139)

	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
	... 8 more

I suggest you apply the attached patch instead of Moshe's one.


Cheers,
