Hi Niel,
Sorry I didn't pickup that this was a load on startup problem.
Cutting an pasting your settings into Tomcat 3.3's "examples"
webapp reveals why web.xml is not being read (WebXmlReader
has a "validate" parameter which defaults to "true").
A syntax error exists at:
<param-name>DbUser</param-name>
<param-value>myuser/param-value>
'<' is missing --------------^
I'm assuming there was no cut and paste error placing the
text into the e-mail.
