It seems that Tomcat has never been the same since Catalina container came in:
The last error I could not understand is reading an URL
through the servletContext() -- as follow :


protectedResourcesURL = config.getServletContext().getResource("/WEB-INF/signon-config.xml");

Catalina tries to read the URL and then throws the
NoSuchMethodError Exception when I try to URL.openStream()
and load the xml document
Has anybody encountered this or has any clue what is going wrong
NOTE: when I try this on the previous Tomcat version it works fine
Thanks
