The included Tomcat does require jta:
$ rpm -q --requires tomcat5-common-lib | grep 'jta'
jta >= 0:1.0.1
jta >= 0:1.0.1
Which is at least provided by geronimo-specs-compat. Anyway, back to the
issue, what does your Tomcat log say (/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out)? If
it is something along the lines of:
---

You are probably bumping into the issue described here:
https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/jpackage-discuss/2007-May/011416.html
Until upstream fixes this, I think the only solution is to rebuild
Tomcat without brp-java-repack-jars being used, use the updated Tomcat
packages from JPackage, or stick to gcj.
