Okay my persistence paid off. Tried different set-ups to figure out what went wrong. Bottom line I have one faulty configured Tomcat 4.1.18 copy that was causing this problem. Faulty in a sense that Tomcat would not shut down gracefully. I tried Jetspeed and it works on Tomcat version 4.1.12 and another freshly installed 4.1.18 that both can shutdown gracefully. KEY is I guess an ungraceful Tomcat shutdown process was affecting the subsequent re-start of Jetspeed. Hope someone can learn from my experience. :) Anyhow, for kicks I cant get it to work on jboss even after the modification suggested on the README file. a new task..
