Manjul,
If you copied the web.xml form the windows box, I wonder about
end-of-lines. The EOL char on windows is cr/lf while on UNIX it's
simply lf. I haven't had any experience with that issue in conjunction
with tomcat, but it wrecks havoc with shell scripts, or perl, or
anything that's basically an ASCII text.
I'd bring the wbe.xml file up in emacs or some other editor that'll
that stuff, and if you see a bunch of ^M's, get rid of them and see if
the problem persists. I don't know if that will help, but if you
copied the file from the windows box, that's the next place I'd look.
