I've always had many problems getting new versions of Cocoon and Tomcat to cooperate because of .jar file incompatabilities. Usually this will just cause Cocoon to not start, not Tomcat, so I don't know if this is the same type of problem that you're having.
First of all check out the wiki. There's a page there detailing problems with installing Cocoon on various servlet containers. Unfortunately I can't find it right now, maybe someone else can point it out. Basically Tomcat comes with xalan and the xml apis and so does Cocoon. Cocoon 2.1.3 has newer, and possibly incompatible, versions of these, so you need to replace the tomcat .jars with the Cocoon ones.
I would try to upgrade to the latest release of Tomcat also.

I have just managed my first build of Cocoon 2.1.3 (thanks Geoff and Stavros!). However, when I deploy the Cocoon war to the Tomcat webapps directory, Tomcat will no longer start up properly. The files appear to be expanded properly, creating the Cocoon WEB-INF and all the other folders. However, when I make the first call to http://localhost:8080/ the error message that I get is in the form of a dialog box which tells me:
Runtime Error! Program: c:\tomcat\bin\tomcat.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
As soon as I remove the war file and the new directory structure, the problem goes away and Tomcat starts and runs normally. There is no obvious message in the Tomcat log files and it seems the fault occurs without any log entry for it. (There is also no 'logs' directory in the WEB-INF folder for Cocoon.)
Any help appreciated with this!
