Thanks much. Problem was solved by removing an old catalina.jar for WEB-INF/lib.

That version was never released, and would be almost three years old if it had been. Use the current version: 7.0.41. Do a fresh download and clean install, verify that Tomcat is working, then add your webapps one by one, insuring that each one operates properly before trying the next. Do not directly copy any configuration from previous versions of Tomcat to the new one; modify the conf/*.xml files with whatever you need for your installation. Also make sure you do not have the same classes in tomcat's lib directory and the webapp's WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes directories. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
