Hi, just ran into the same problem. Made a clean install from svn, made everything mentioned on the getting started site to get archiva to work with tomcat. All I get is this error message and I think the following exception is causing it: "Component Composition failed. No field of name: 'config' exists in component: role: 'org.codehaus.pexus.security.policy.UserSecurityPolica', implementation: 'org.codehaus.plexus.security.policy.DefaultUserSecurityPolicy', role hint: 'default'" So what shall I do?
