I can get Castor to work with jdk1.5.0 & Tomcat4.1.24, but not with Tomcat5.5.9. I have included the commons-logging.jar in my context, but to no avail. The behaviour is to exit the try block without completing it, but not entering the catch block. I am using castor0.9.6-xml.jar. Any ideas?


The run() method of the following class works when called within Tomcat4.1.24, but not Tomcat5.5.9.
