Problem starting Jetspeed2

[BN Shyam]

Hi all,

I am new to Jetspeed,

I have downloaded the jetspeed-current-src.zip from the apache site and 
build the jetspeed war with the help of the instructions given in Getting 
Started page.

Now that the jetspeed.war file is created and deployed on tomcat(5.0.30), 
i am getting the following exception while starting the tomcat.

Same error is being shown for all the portlets in the WEB-INF/deploy 
directory.

Can anybody help me in solving this problem

Thanks in advance
With Regards,

Shyam
