Padhu, Thank you for your help. My errors were cause due to the invoker servlet not being turned on. In the version of Tomcat that I use, it was not turned off by default, so I was not aware of that change. Since the invoker servlet is turned off by default, is there a security concern regarding it or is there a new means of starting servlets that Tomcat is trying to use?
