Hi, How about starting with the simplest approach: forget the manager, forget Ant. Do a clean Tomcat installation. Copy your webapp into the webapps folder (not as a WAR file, just the unpacked directory structure). Start the server. That's it.
Your web.xml looks fine. It's always a good idea to validate it using a tool like XMLSpy (there are free alternatives online as well) if you're unsure that it's valid.
