Well, I figured out what the problem is. On the wiki (but nowhere in the downloaded package) it says that FDS on Tomcat requires the JOTM transaction manager.
The wiki points to two articles by unrelated third parties that have different instructions for what is required to install. Then there are some additional instructions directly in the wiki that seem to overlap and contradict the instructions in the articles. The bottom line is this is no easy "drop a war or jar in and your done" kind of installation - or if it is, then the instructions are even worse than I thought. I would suggest that adobe make the effort to tighten up the documentation on this and maybe do some kind of an installer that maybe even makes the necessary adjustments to the tomcat config file. Just because someone programs in java doesnt mean they know all of the ins and outs of servlet container configurations. This, "oh we will leave the last few steps as an exercise for the reader" is just one of my personal pet peeves. Just because software is targeted at programmers and technical folks doesnt mean its ok to make it hard. Adobe has, in general, done a good job with the client side. But, for lots of people, this will be a bummer.
