Hi Vlada,

It seems that your error is not related to LookupService itself but 
rather Tomcat installation. I have never encounter the problem, but it 
may be caused by misconfiguration of access rights.

What you may check it to extract Tomcat from its tarball (I suppose 
you've already done it) and run:

    cd $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/
    ./startup.sh

where  $TOMCAT_HOME is the directory where you installed Tomcat.

Then, use your browser and enter

    http://localhost:8080/

You should see Tomcat's "welcome page" with yellow cat on the top :).

You may edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml

It may look like (if nobody else uses it):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <user username="vlada" password="macek" roles="tomcat,admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would let you see whether everything is ok in Administration / 
Management pages of Tomcat. Don't forget to restart tomcat after change 
tomcat-users.xml file.

So the conslusion is that you may install and run Tomcat manually and 
during LS installation process just enter Tomcat installation directory 
and don't let Ant to run Tomcat (there should be a question for that)
