Dear all, The .jar symlinking part is fixed: what was needed is a line in the security policy for the webapp: permission java.io.FilePermission "/usr/share/java/-", "read"; I think it's strange, though, that the Tomcat error log gives a NoClassDefFoundError instead of some SecurityError. Now Tomcat uses the symlinks to the .jar files in /usr/share/java.
Cheers Jan-Pascal
