I posted my entire tomcat-users.xml. I took out all of the comments to try to avoid the error. :-) Jim

What is on line 28 of the file? The message seems to be pretty clear. You have a '--' string in your XML comments that the parser is objecting to. I have no such issues with Tomcat 7.0.52 / JRE 1.7.0_52 / Fedora 20. . . . just my two cents. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org ----------------------------------------- This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
