Sounds like you are experiencing multiple problems:
Your database connection is not setup correctly:
--- ROOT CAUSE ---
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Invalid connection string format, a
valid format is: "host:port:sid"
Roller's Log4J is conflicting with the one in OC4J
Unpublished Bug 5871305 : APACHE.COMMONS.LOGGING LIBRARY HAS DEPENDENCY ON
LOG4J CLASSES In the OC4J class loading framework
And you mentioned the getRealPath() problem.
Any chance you can use a better supported Servlet Container (e.g.
Tomcat or Glassfish)?
