problem during the first mediator's run

I’m a mediator’s newbie and I’ve a very strange (for me) problem.

My configuration:
- j2sdk1.4.1_03
- jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a
- EntireX XML Mediator 7.2.1

I’ve put the war file in the webapps directory of tomcat and everything is correctly generated.
But when I try to launch mediator host manager I’ve an error message and on the DefaultComponentFactory.xbd logfile, I have a thing like that:

I’ve changed the version of JDK and tomcat but It doesn’t change nothing…
If someone has ever had this problem, please say me.

thanks per advance
