Hi Konstantin/Daniel, We are using Java 1.6. The gnu.xml has not been installed separately. It must have been a part of the Tomcat installation.
The XML parser is whatever comes default with Tomcat. We did a copy of the working copy of Tomcat (7.0.50) from the Development box to the production box. Both are running on the same release of the software V7R1 and the patches are also similar as they get applied simultaneously. The only difference in libraries is a library provided by Robot on the production box which is RBTSYSLIB.LIB. Not sure what is happening on the production box with Tomcat as we are still not too familiar with the startup requirements of Tomcat. We have not even copied our application. All indications seem to be a JVM and Java or path problem like you indicated but not sure how to get to the bottom of the problem. Is there a verbose way of starting up Tomcat where we can exactly see where it gets stuck up other than the log file. We are not getting much information on this log file at all.
