Hi,
this is now working thanks to you all.
Attached is the web.xml. As Rodrigo stated I pruned it down and it turns out that at a
min I need the 'Servlet Mapped Filter', the invoker mapping.
If anyone can explain the web.xml file in plain lang / what filters do and how to get
rid of the invoker then please do
Thomas

If you copied the examples web.xml, then you must have a lot of references
to servlet classes and filters not present in your new webapp. This can make
the context not to be created, because of exceptions raised during context
initialization. Try to delete all unused entries before starting the server
:-)
Hope it helps
