Thank you so much for your wise counsel. Your idiom has now become mine. I'm going through very carefully and trying to make sure that everything is set up properly with my apps. I've stripped my Tomcat installation down to just the JARs that Jakarta put in the common/lib, and I'm rearranging all my apps to put all the JARs they need in their WARs. I've increased debug to 99.
I'll let you know how I make out once I have more data. Thank you.
