Hi David, I just wanted to thank you for your hint with the RequestDumperValve. By actually checking it's output we realized, that it was a problem with our sercure-URI-List settings why the activation failed. - So I suggest anyone else having strange problems with their activation to have a look at the RequestDumperValve-Log.

Add this to your server.xml : <Valve classname="org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve" /> inside the Host element Warning: this valve set's the parameter decoding to the platform's default character encoding. Use sparingly to diagnose request header/parameter problems. --David Christian P.
