You are right and you are right. :-) Those work and they're tested.

But your solution doesn't fit me. I need complete control over the version
of Tomcat, JDK, etc. that I'm running. I figured out the problem, so I'm
fine now. I can't exactly tell you what I did differently. I just unpacked
Tomcat again, reinstalled our custom configurations and it started
working.
