Thanks for your input Allan. I plan on trying to deploy using the manager like you said but I haven't had much luck with the manager. Do you know of any documentation available on how to use the manager. I created a manager user but about all I know how to do is list running servlets.
However, my problem has appeared to change and I'm not sure why. It appears that Tomcat is now parsing my web.xml file and running into errors. When I launch catalina I get the following error: XmlMapper : Can't find resource for entity -//Sun Microsystems, Inc. //DTD Web Application 2.3//EN —> http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd "null" PARSE error at line 1 column 1 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed. I can't tell if this is an error relating to retrieving the DTD or if my XML isn't formed properly. My machine is connected to the internet and I was able to manually download the DTD from that address. If you or anyone else has any insight, again I would appreciate it. Thanks. -Jason >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/04/02 12:41AM >>> Jason, I may not fully find a solution to your problem as everything seems right. I suspect your application may not have be fully deployed. To deploy an application you need to add a context in your server.xml. Or you can use Catalina's manager application to deploy/undeploy a context without Catalina's shutdown. You could however narrow down the to the source of your problem by 1>Shut down Catalina, move you application folder from the webapps directory. Delete the contents of Catalina's work directory. Create a new user with role "manager" in your tomcat-users.xml file in your catalina conf/ directory. Start Catalina and deploy your application using the manager application by logging using the new user created above (You may learn about the manager application from your catalina installation) 2> Is your .tld file actually located in the specified "/WEB-INF/lib/taglib.tld" location in your application. Well I hope this works. Allan Kamau. --- Jason Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been working with Tomcat 4.0.1 and I'm running > into a major stumbling block.
