I agree with Pidster--remove the other JAI jars. I use JAI and JAI ImageIO in my application. I have three JAI jar files in my WEB-INF/lib directory: jai_codec.jar, jai_core.jar, and jai_imageio.jar
If you need JAI in $JAVA_HOME, I recommend you install a second copy of the JDK without JAI, and use this for launching Tomcat. While I have JAI installed in my Java 6 tree, I start Tomcat with a Java 5 tree that does not have JAI installed. At the start of $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh, I've added JAVA_HOME=/local/jdk1.5.0_noJAI JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true -Xmx256m" This second JDK could be Java 6, but I run Tomcat with Java 5 (and set javac source and target to 1.5) because my application must run on older Macintoshes that do not support Java 6. (Headless is set because my application also must run on systems without a DISPLAY.) My application installs and runs in Tomcat on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
