Is that in your catalina.out file? Do you have another log file that contains more detailed error information? It appears something caused the entire web application to be unable to deploy. Is it the Tiles Filter? Greg Thanks for the response. Sorry for my delay in responding back, but I didn't receive either my email or your reply to my email, but I looked on Nabble and found your reply. I am getting the Shale emails again now, however. I am using Netbeans 5.5 with Tomcat 5.5 external. The log information is from my "catalina.2006-11-14.log", and no, it sure doesn't say much. You are right, the app does not deploy. If memory serves me right, I have seen the Tiles filter choke and the app fail to deploy before - but I don't remember the exact situation. I reduced my tiles.xml and my layout jsp to the absolute minimum (only a body) but with the same results. My wild guess is that the filter sees something it doesn't like in tiles.xml. However, all this stuff was working before my upgrade. Let me know if you want me to try something. I'll keep plugging on it. Dick
