I'm a scientist, not a programmer. Really? Your cv/resume indicates otherwise. Sure your phd is in neuroscience but your current employment is listed as "Scientific Programmer" and so was your last employment. Considering that you are "Proficient" in things such as "C/C++/C#, PHP ... Linux OS" you should have considered that letting people know some details about your configuration/system would have helped. Anyways, as stated by other people, get rid of the ubuntu packaged Tomcat and install the official one, also use a real Java version from SUN. Also, tomcat does work "out of the box". Incorrect administration of any system will stop it from working out of the box. -Steve O. > I'm new to Ubuntu and > Tomcat.
