tomcat deployment exception

[Bruce Edge <br...@gmail.com>]

I've given up on jetty for now and switched to tomcat6.
I have it working with the apache download version, but not with the debian
release.
I know I'm getting greedy here, but I'd like to use the pre-built .debs
instead of checking in the whole tomcat release into my tree.
Does anyone see anything obvious here?
It's the same config as the apache tgz tomcat. It's using the debian
init.d/tomcat which runs it under jsvc as the tomcat6 user. The apache tgz
ran as root and used the startup.sh script directly.
