Thanks Bill,

your answer inspirated me to re-read the tomcat class loader howto and to
find out that I was wrong thinking that

    web_server_libs=...    - path to the shared library directory
                             for your webserver

means "common/lib" - it of course means "shared/lib". (Somehow I thought
this had changed between tomcat 4.0 and 4.1, but obviously I was wrong!)

So now tomcat starts again and I am running into the next kind of trouble:

---
<2003-11-18 19:36:42,000> ERROR [http8080-Processor4] :
[UserFactory.<init>] Error trying to instantiate: simple
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.babeldoc.core.user.UserFactory.<init>(UserFactory.java:109)
	at
com.babeldoc.core.user.UserFactory.getInstance(UserFactory.java:131)
	at com.babeldoc.web.main.ConsoleServlet.handleSecurity(Unknown
Source)
	at com.babeldoc.web.main.ConsoleServlet.handleRequest(Unknown
Source)
---

Should there be a line like

Userfactory.simple=com.babeldoc.core.user.simple.SimpleUserFactory

in modules/core/config/service/query.properties? Or is this left out,
because afterwards everybody with the password "password" is
authenticated?

Thanks for your help,

Hans
