Null pointer exception when misspelling attribute name in server.xml <Context>.

           Summary: Null pointer exception when misspelling attribute name
                    in server.xml <Context>.
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina:Modules
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If you write 'path' e.g. as 'Path'  in Context in server.xml.
I.e. 
<Context Path="/appname" ...
instead of
<Context path="/appname" ...
You'll get a null pointer exception instead of a nice message stating that path
is missing.
