[Building Sakai] Sakai runs in Tomcat 7

[Anthony Whyte]

I also dropped commons-el-1.0.jar into shared/lib in an instance of Tomcat 6.0.32 running sakai-2.8.x and the JSF tools now render.  There is however a dav issue on startup which I believe also afflicts Tomcat 7 (see below).

BTW, I'm playing with Tomcat 6.0.32 not because I prefer it over Tomcat 7 but because we check all options as we evaluate upgrading from Tomcat 5.5.

Cheers,

Anth
