Yvan,

Actually you need to put your/a web.xml file as it's done for other webapps, I mean in the same location. You may look at the content of the other
web.xml files in OFBiz to see if your web.xml file fits...

If that does not help, I may review the code and answer to you last question below

> Thanks Jacques, I will do that.  But I have one more question if you will be so kind.  Does OFBiz change Tomcat  classloader normal precedence, ie. WEB-INF/lib then Default lib then Server lib?  I am wondering if I need to put something in my standard web app context.xml in case it does.  Just a thought I had before applying the patch suggestion.
