This worked, sorry for the delayed reply, I however realize that this issue
was more to do with Tomcat rather than DSpace itself, and since I was trying
to study the workings of this theme so that I can have the power to modify
my own Mirage I landed into a couple of other issues. I am afraid to raise
them because it will be like opening Pandoras box, because my major
limitation is a deadline, otherwise I would have gone on to dig deep into
reading XSL modifications and even the wiki entries that Hilton posted, but
I am looking for a quick fix, though once the repo is up, I can go further
into grasping all the concepts and maybe even contributing my own
modifications to the DSpace theme repository. So thanks for the help.
