class not found at startup ServletContext??

[digital_funk]

Hello,

I am trying to start jboss/tomcat to deploy my first web application, I am getting a class not found error when it tries to deploy the tomcat service. I am very new to jboss, could someone please tell me very detailed how to fix this? There are two segments of the startup output below, if you need further info please let me know what to post...
regards
richard.

There are some links at the top
of the tomcat41-service.xml to the tomcat
distribution. Are these pointing to the correct
location?

I've never seen that one before.
Maybe you don't have authority or it is read-only?
