In the last weeks there have been several complaints (or questions) about
using OJB within Tomcat.
I started to setup a Tomcat environment over the weekend to write a little

I will publish my findings and propose some hints how the mentioned problems
can be solved.
I hope to get things finished this week !

thanks for your patience
