Sorry I can't be too specific, but I'm only the administrator of the
system. I was given a .war-file I deployed through the web-interface.
Then it took me some days to find out why it deployed in glassfish
without any problems and it didn't work out in tomcat. For
administration reasons, I prefer tomcat. The solution for me was
the combination of the 2 bugs (#418826 and #418828).
