I tried it. I'm surprised I was able to get it to compile and run on only the second try (the first try, I had left the stream file editor in the default EBCDIC codepage when I pasted in your source, which JAVAC, not surprisingly, didn't like at all).

At any rate, I get:

java FindClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina URLClassLoader found class 'org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina'

And so far as I can determine without doing a clean install of Tomcat, nothing is customized at all, at this point, other than maybe setting port numbers (which it isn't even getting to, yet), and adding your diagnostic lines in logging.properties.

Paul Holm, on the Midrange.com Java list, suggested turning on verbose mode on Java; I'm not entirely sure how I would even do that for Tomcat.

What would be the next step?
