Tomcat 5.5 Doesn’t Start in Ubuntu 7.10

This is related to one of the web application deployed in Tomcat containing the
Apache Common Loggings jar file inside the WEB-INF/lib directory. To
fix this issue, place a copy of the commons-logging jar file inside the
Tomcat’s common endorsed directory.

$ cp commons-logging-1.1.jar /usr/share/java
$ cd /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/endorsed
$ ln -s ../../../java/commons-logging-1.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.jar
