--- Comment #5 from Slava Risenberg <slava.risenb...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Coty Sutherland from comment #0) > When using a web.xml that specifies a servlet element, but excludes > servlet-name a NPE is observed and the webapp fails to deploy. A check > should be added in the StandardWrapper and it should throw a > ServletException when servlet-name is missing. > > To reproduce, add a serlvet tag to your web.xml with no servlet-name.

A check should be added to ContextConfig.configureContext() method as it is the place where context is being populated with servlets properties. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
