Tomcat Digester Problem

[Haris Farooque]

Hi all,
I am developing web application using Spring, Struts and Hibernate with Tomcat 5.5.28. The code runs fine till last week, and all of a sudden tomcat server failed to start now, it stucks in a loop of parsing xml files using Digester.it keeps on doing this and finally the server startup instance timed out.
I re-installed tomcat, created a new workspace and checked-out the fresh copy of the code from SVN but the problem remains as it is.

i tried all tools and techniques but failed to make it runinng again.

if this happend to any of please please share your views and ideas.

thanks & regards
