Tomcat3.2 throws Null pointer exception when my web.xml uses 1

[Siak Keong, Cheong]

It doesn't matter what jsp I used as long as I specified it to use the
<load-on-startup> tag within the <servlet> tag in web.xml, null ptr
exception is thrown.

A fragment of my web.xml is as follows:

  <servlet>
        <servlet-name>OracleEmployeeTest</servlet-name>
        <display-name>Multiple JSP servlet engine tests</display-name>
        <jsp-file>OracleEmployeeTest.jsp</jsp-file>
        <init-param>
               <param-name>DBHost</param-name>
               <param-value>amita</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

The exception stack trace is as follows:

Is this a know bug ? Any thoughts how to resolve this, please ?
