Thanks for the reply Tim, Here is the stack trace, it does not look to me like it gives enough information. Of course I am just starting with Tomcat and have some blanks in my brain. I know is the classes are being found, either under commons or shared classes directory, because if I just delete the classes then what I get is a ClassNotFound exception, while if I place them under any of those directories, I get the following exception:

Please post a full stack trace. TargetInvocationException should have an underlying cause associated with it, like NullPointerException or ClassNotFoundException.
