I'm having a problem starting up tomcat.
I just downloaded Tomcat 5.0.19, and tried to execute the startup script.
When I did, I got the following error.....
<snip>
INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/Users/tyler/Desktop/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/conf/Catalina/ localhost/admin.xml

So, thinking it was a problem with the xml parser (since the documents look to be ok) I tried it again, after removing the xerces jars so that
it would use whatever XML services were built into the system. Here's the error I got that time....

So, I'm wondering what's going on?
Now for some background....
I'm running OS X, 10.3.3 with Java 1.4.2. I have had the same problem from tomcat 3.x and most of
the tomcat 4.x, as well as all of the 5.x builds. Strangely, 4.0.6 seems to work, but it's a little flaky and I want to upgrade to a more
recent version.
This problem has been pervasive for a long time, since at least 10.3.0 (for me) and java 1.4.1.
A close variant (probably the exact same thing) prevents jboss from working as well. I was never able to get a version of Jboss
to start up without trouble.
I ran some google searches, but nothing useful came up.
In addition, those files are both at the correct location, pointing my webrowser at the given URL brings them up just fine.
Does someone know what is happening? Surely this has been reported before.
