A bit more info which i think might be relevant.
When i run it on my desktop i ran it directly from within Netbeans but when
i run it on the Unix server i export the project as a war file (within
netbeans) and copy it into the webapps directory on the Unix environment.
Is it possible that netbeans is including some libraries that are not
available on the Unix environment when i run it on the desktop?
