[news.eclipse.birt] BIRT 2.2.1 on Tomcat; logging problem DiscoveryExcep

[DI Florian Hackenberger <f.hackenberger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

I've just tried to deploy the BIRT 2.2.1 viewer on Tomcat running on Ubuntu
Gutsy. I followed the instructions from [1]. In addition to the steps
mentioned there I had to add the following lines
to /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/50user.policy:

// Needed for the eclipse birt viewer
grant {
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.io.tmpdir", "read";
        permission
java.io.FilePermission "/var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp/-", "read,write,execute,delete";
        permission
java.util.PropertyPermission "RUN_UNDER_ECLIPSE", "read,write";
        permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "createClassLoader";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getClassLoader";
        permission
java.util.PropertyPermission "org.apache.commons.discovery.log.level", "read";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "setContextClassLoader";
};

These configuration options for the Security Manager solved most problems,
but one. The exception thrown after clicking on "View Example" is:

The packages libcommons-logging-java and liblog4j1.2-java are installed on
my system. I have tried for hours (with google's help) to track this error
down, but was unsuccessful. Can someone please point me into the right
direction?
