Have you had looked in the tomcat log files too?
Could you debug the application to find out why the config file is'nt parsed
correct?

Henner,
I found it. Using jetty, I was able to get log4j to work properly and I was able to kick in debug. This showed me the full debug output of the dbforms initialization. dbforms initialization choked on an enum field type. Changing enum to varchar fixed it. I must get log4j working in Tomcat, or switch to jetty. jetty was quick/easy to set up.
Thank you for describing your eclipse setup. I plan to get that going as well so that if I have problems in future I can debug.
Thank you for your patient assistance.
Bill
