We have not tested WebProtege with Tomcat 6.  Only with 5.5.

I notice in the exception above that you are getting an access denied error:

java.io.FilePermission 
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/webprotege/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties 
read

Did you check that you have the proper access permissions for this file?
