Description

Update Pluto to work with Tomcat 6.x.

Most notably Tomcat 6.x does away with the classloader hierarchy <tomcat>/server, <tomcat>/common, <tomcat>/shared. Everything by default is lumped into <tomcat>/lib. The endorsed directory is now <tomcat>/endorsed.

Perhaps related is that Pluto crash and burns when starting up in Tomcat 6:
FINE: [3] Creating portlet container...
Jun 2, 2007 2:10:42 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.apache.pluto.driver.PortalStartupListener
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3827)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4334)

Moving webapps/pluto/WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging-api-1.1.jar to lib/ solves the problem. I wonder if the thread that loads listener classes has <tomcat>/lib as its classloader versus <tomcat>/<webapp>/WEB-INF/lib
