Well trying to be constructive..... What syntax checker would you suggest? That aside, it didnt make much difference, I still get a nullpointer exception.
It is happening on a webapp that has run fine for 6 months. The change I am making is to go from a single <Host> and multiple <Context> to multiple <Host> and one <Context> each. You would think that it was a fairly simple move, not one where the whole server is offline for a full day. So while less syntax checking may be a good a guiding principle, it makes bug hunts very time consuming.

Case matters. Also, if you're using a 5.5 version of Tomcat, the path attribute is illegal (not ignored) unless the <Context> element is inside server.xml - which is strongly discouraged. You should be using an XML syntax checker before you actually throw junk at Tomcat - diagnosing XML structure problems is not what it's designed for. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
