Cannot Start Tomcat 6.0 - "SEVERE: Error getConfigured"

I was working on building my Java web application, based on Spring and Hibernate, and tried to load it in tomcat 6.0.18. I got the following uninformative error:

INFO: ExtensionValidator[/myApp]: Failure to find 3 required extension(s).
Jun 6, 2009 8:59:53 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error getConfigured
Jun 6, 2009 8:59:53 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start


I searched the logs and couldn't find more information...not a very helpful error message.

So how to fix it? I found this link helpful - http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=28233
They suggested to remove some of the commons libs and this solved the problem for me.
