I'm not sure what is causing this either, and the stack trace starts pretty deep
inside the Cocoon processing hierarchy.  A couple of notes that might help
investigate:

* This particular error message appears to be generated by
  Cocoon, not Tomcat.  I cannot find such an error message text
  in Tomcat's message files (or Strings in the code).

* One thing guaranteed to cause problems would be an attempt
  to load a "javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" class from a
  JAR file underneath WEB-INF/lib (or from an unpacked class
  under WEB-INF/classes).  Tomcat disallows such an attempt
  to override one of the standard API classes.
