8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3~ppa2 patches not in tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.4

[Jack Howarth]

Nish,
       Can you recreate your test packaging on
https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/tomcat8v2/+packages based off
of the current tomcat8 package in xenial? I would be happy to test if your
proposed bug fixes resolve the problems with ubuntu's tomcat failing to run
the MetaboAnalyst war application properly.
                  Jack
