As I mentioned before, I can build an rpm that gets up and (mostly) runs. 
I suggest you use Henrie's src.rpm and my spec file to stat with.

Check ftp.falsehope.com:/home/gomez/jakarta/3.1

I suspect that all that's wrong with my current spec is some permissions 
somewhere. Getting the source for the demo apps does no seem all that 
vital.
