Hi Florent,

after some research, I am pretty confident that this issue has
little to do with Qizx:

1) it is generally acknowledged that Tomcat or other servers
    prepackaged in Linux distribs have configuration issues,
    so it is advisable to use the original from Apache.

2) the offending class is part of the webapp: this cannot be
      a classpath issue.

3) I agree that the problems seems related to security (FileUtil
     does file access, as the name suggest, and that could be barred
     by a high security level.)

4) The exception (error) raised is NoClassDefFoundError rather
      than ClassNotFoundException: this suggests a weird physical access
      problem. I got this recently on Windows because the name of the
      class file was not matching (the case) of the class name.
