> By any chance, is there a case mismatch - is your webapp properly deployed in [appBase]/Spc.xml or perhaps incorrectly in [appBase]/spc.xml?
I'm not sure I understand this question. The Spc.war file is copied to ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps and Tomcat deploys it to ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/Spc. There is no other Spc.xml file except the one in ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost. Is there supposed to be another Spc.xml file in the deployment? > Can you post your entire server.xml? My server.xml (it should be the distribution copy with SSL and access log enabled): By the way, I appreciate your help and time, but I would surely understand if you let this go - no one else where I work has this problem and it doesn't seem to be endemic in the wider population of Tomcat users. Any way, thanks again. ------------------------------------------------>8---------------------- ----------------------- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.
