Hi,
I have a home-grown framework akin to struts, and a li'l Filter for authorization and
authentication. Sometimes, when upon starting tomcat, I get the error listed below. If
I refresh the page, everything starts working - and its not necessary that the error
will occur on every restart. So what am i missing?
In the listing below, following are my own classes/servlets:
FrontController - servlet to map user requests to events.
ScreenFlowManager - for view selection
RTIFilter - the filter for authorization and authentication
Thanks for any help.
regards,
manav
