I've tried 4.1.27 and 5.0.9 with the same results.

c:\tomcat\server\lib\commons-digester.jar

I do have a copy of the jar file in my project's WEB-INF\lib directory. That
is what is causing the problem.

If I take the jar file out of that directory, the server starts up fine, but
my project won't run because it can't find the Digester class. If I directly
reference the commons-digester.jar in the path above, my project will
compile just fine, but Tomcat once again files to startup.

Thanks,
