Hi Jake,

I'm using catalina's manager deploy using the ant taskdef. My war
contains a META-INF/context.xml that is properly integrated into
catalina's server.xml.

Currently I'm using 1.2.7a, the one that comes with Barracuda's CVS. I
will try 1.2.7 and report it's behaviort.
BTW: Log4jInit instantiates a DOM parser. Is this a XML parser problem?
I'm using tomcat 4.1.18 LE JDK1.4.

Among other custom jars, these guys are located inside the war:
./WEB-INF/lib/plankton.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/barracuda-contrib.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/barracuda-webapp.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/barracuda-core.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.7a.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/barracuda-log4j.jar

In catalina's shared/lib I've put:
./activation.jar
./mail.jar
./xerces-1.4.4-xmlc-2.1.jar
./xmlc-2.1.jar
In catalina's common/lib there's a custom JDBC wrapper driver that uses
log4j. Therefore I have log4j.jar in common/lib too, exactly the same
file like the on in the war. Might the two log4j jar files produce a
conflict?
