Java / Tomcat / Jython Problem running on FC4

[Charlie McVeigh]

I have an interesting problem trying to deploy a Java web application to
my instance of Tomcat running on my FC4 machine.  

Here are the facts:

1) I have installed Sun Java 1.5.0.05-1 per the instuctions at
www.fedorafaq.org.  

2) rpm -qa | grep -i java gives me:

java-1.5.0-sun-devel-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-src-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-fonts-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-plugin-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-demo-1.5.0.05-1jpp
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2
java-1.5.0-sun-alsa-1.5.0.05-1jpp

3) I am trying to deploy a .war file to my tomcat/webapps directory.  I
am running Tomcat 5.5.9.

4) The .war file that I am using works correctly on my colleagues
Windows XP, Solaris 10, Mac OS X machines - I know the .war file is OK.

5) When I start Tomcat I get the following Jython errors with embedded
Windows path names in the error output  (the embedded path names happen
to be the correct path to the original developers source code on his
Windows machine - yet I am deploying to a FC4 machine!):

This problem has all of my colleagues stumped as well - especially since
the .war file works unchanged for them on the other OS's mentioned
above.  I would appreciate any thoughts that any of the Java Gurus on
the board may have.
