Bob, I had the same problem but got completely different errors. I think it needed ExampleFilter.class but I'm not sure. I couldn't tell you what version either - still have Examples in there. Chuck

I tried searching the archives and bug database. Chances are I missed it somewhere, but I've been looking at this for the better part of the day and need some new leads. :) Environment: HP-UX 11 JVM - HP 1.3 Tomcat 4.1.24 I installed and configured the examples context fine. I then installed and configured my webapp fine. Everything seems to work. The problem is when I try and remove the examples context from the server.xml and directory from the webapps dir. I suddenly get an error trying to load my own webapp. I'm at a complete loss as to why I can load both, or just examples, but not my webapp by itself. I finally just broke the examples webapp by removing the realm from the server.xml file so the examples context just fails upon loadup (but my webapp still succeeds). I included the error below, and attached my server.xml file. Any help or leads would be appreciated. Unfortunatley I'm on a shared machine so I can't upgrade to the latest build to see if it's fixed (if it's even a bug).
