[Deploying Sakai] Sakai fails to load.

[Steve Swinsburg]

Cool. All of that was from memory and written hasty, glad you could
decipher it :)

The component directory is a special area of Sakai that holds the API
implementation code. Spring knows to look here to find the classes. This is
so that individual web apps can communicate with each other via the API.

There was a post by Zach a while back about the specific issues with the
distributed versions of Tomcat. I don't think this is ever going to change
though since it is so specific so the go is to just use the archived
distributions rather than the packages.
